1. Manual test
2. Regression
- Why I did it
To fix an issue that hw-mgmt patches were not applied. One patch was already in upstream hw-mgmt package thus applying it again caused an error and no other patches were applied. Also, I did it to improve the Makefile, so that the make will fail in case patches fail to apply.
- How I did it
Removed obsolete patch, made applying patches a hard failure in the build.
- How to verify it
Run the make and verify patches are applied.

Support zero buffer profiles
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
Support applying zero profiles on INACTIVE PORTS
Enable dynamic buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file
Signed-off-by: Stephen Sun stephens@nvidia.com
How I did it
Add buffer profiles and pool definition for zero buffer profiles
If the buffer model is static:
- Apply normal buffer profiles to admin-up ports
- Apply zero buffer profiles to admin-down ports
If the buffer model is dynamic:
- Apply normal buffer profiles to all ports
- buffer manager will take care when a port is shut down
- Update buffers_config.j2 to support INACTIVE PORTS by extending the existing macros to generate the various buffer objects, including PGs, queues, ingress/egress profile lists
Originally, all the macros to generate the above buffer objects took active ports only as an argument
Now that buffer items need to be generated on inactive ports as well, an extra argument representing the inactive ports need to be added
To be backward compatible, a new series of macros are introduced to take both active and inactive ports as arguments
The original version (with active ports only) will be checked first. If it is not defined, then the extended version will be called
Only vendors who support zero profiles need to change their buffer templates
Enable buffer manager to load zero pools and profiles from a JSON file:
The JSON file is provided on a per-platform basis
It is copied from platform/<vendor> folder to /usr/share/sonic/temlates folder in compiling time and rendered when the swss container is being created.
To make code clean and reduce redundant code, extract common macros from buffer_defaults_t{0,1}.j2 of all SKUs to two common files:
One in Mellanox-SN2700-D48C8 for single ingress pool mode
The other in ACS-MSN2700 for double ingress pool mode
Those files of all other SKUs will be symbol link to the above files
Update sonic-cfggen test accordingly:
- Adjust example output file of JSON template for unit test
- Add unit test in for Mellanox's new buffer templates.
How to verify it
Regression test.
Unit test in sonic-cfggen
Run regression test and manually test.

* Under various circumstances, Ethernet ports falsely showed that InfiniBand cables were connected.
* In SN4600C, at times, the link up time in both DAC and optics cables may, in the worst case, take up to 15 seconds.
* Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times
* When ECMP has high amount of next-hops based on VLAN interfaces, in some rare cases, packets will get a wrong VLAN tag and will be dropped.
* When connecting Spectrum devices with optical transceivers that support RXLOS, remote side port down might cause the switch firmware to get stuck and cause unexpected switch behavior.
* Aggregation event is missing for WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty'.
* Tying the SCL and SDA of the optical modules to 3.3V causes errors.
* On SN4600, there was a delay of more than 10 seconds from the time a data packet is sent from CPU until it is transmitted through one of the switch ports.
* While using SN4600C system with Finisar FTLC1157RGPL 100GbE CWDM4 modules, intermittent link flaps across multiple ports may be observed.
* In Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, link did not work in auto-negotiation when connected to Marvell PHY. KR mechanism has been enhanced to integrate with Marvell PHY.
* The tunnel counter counts the drop packets now for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 and consistent with Spectrum behavior and count the ECN dropped packets as well.
* When connecting SN3800 to Cisco-9000, fast-linkup flow will fail and will rise in the normal flow.
* Race condition in WJH library: when multiple threads load the LAG shared memory concurrently, the program may crash.
* Add WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty' as a new drop reason.
* Fixed a memory leak in sx_api_port_sflow_statistics_get API.
* During initialization flow, the command interface that is used by the minimal driver and SDK caused the collision in the firmware since the same buffer is used in the firmware for the two interfaces.

In case an app.ext requires a dependency syncd^1.0.0, the RPC version of syncd will not satisfy this constraint, since 1.0.0-rpc < 1.0.0. This is not correct to put 'rpc' as a prerelease identifier. Instead put 'rpc' as build metadata in the version: 1.0.0+rpc which satisfies the constraint ^1.0.0.

- How I did it
Advance to MFT tool version to 4.17.2-12.
- How to verify it
Manually tested on all mellanox platforms.
- Why I did it
Upgrade to the latest version of hardware management in order to incorporate the latest bugfixes and drivers in the kernel.
- How I did it
Updated the version number and submodule for hw-mgmt.
- How to verify it
This has been verified on all Mellanox platforms through a combination of sonic-mgmt tests and other internal verification.
Why I did it
Currently the mellanox platform API is validating the file extensions of firmware packages to be installed for basic sanity checking. However, ONIE packages do not have an extension and as such if there is a "." in the name it is taken to be an extension and then fails the sanity check.
How I did it
I removed the check which ensures that ONIE images don't have a file extension.
How to verify it
Name the ONIE updater file 2021.onie and attempt to install it via fwutil install fw 2021.onie --yes
Why I did it
The fwutil update all utility expects the auto_update_firmware method in the Platform API to execute the update_firmware() call and not the install_firmware() call.
How I did it
Changed the method in the mellanox platform API component implementation.
How to verify it
Run fwutil update all with a CPLD update on a Mellanox platform and verify that it properly updates the firmware using the MPFA file.

BIOS upgrade on rare cases cannot guarantee bus value remain the same on every BIOS release. Ignoring this field in order for pcied not to fail but still verify device id in a different way. The solution is future proof and will not require changes in code when new BIOS version is available
How I did it
Since bus is not a fixed value (it is determined by the bios version) we are ignoring this field, and instead checking if there is a device that match on all other fields that and in addition has a matching device id.
How to verify it
Verify no errors or failures in pcied on different BIOS version with the same code base.

- Why I did it
The methods get_model, get_serial, and get_revision have been implemented by reading relevant information from VPD and then recording the information into relevant fields.
However, there is no VPD data on platforms with fixed PSUs and relevant fields haven't been initialized, which causes the methods to throw exceptions. which in turn prevents psud from inserting fields into PSU table.
Eventually, this causes show platform psustatus doesn't output correct info.

Why I did it
The Mellanox platform is required to support the fwutil auto-update feature defined here
This is to allow switches, when performing SONiC upgrades to choose whether to perform firmware upgrades that may interrupt the data plane through a cold boot.
How I did it
Two methods were added to the component implementations for mellanox.
In the base Component class we add a default function that chooses to skip the installation of any firmware unless the cold boot option is provided. This is because the Mellanox platform, by default, does not support installing firmware on ONIE, the CPLD, or the BIOS "on-the-fly".
In the ComponentSSD class we add a function that behaves similarly but uses the Mellanox specific SSD firmware upgrade tool to check if the current SSD supports being upgraded on the fly in order to decide whether to skip or perform the installation.
How to verify it
Unit tests are included with this PR. These test will run on build of target sonic-mellanox.bin
You may also perform fwutil auto-update ... commands after Azure/sonic-utilities#1242 is merged in.

This pull request allows calls to be made through the platform 2.0 API that retrieve the PSU and Chassis hardware revision on Mellanox platforms. Access to these values will aid customers in determining their hardware revisions for debugging and technical support. These values are intended to be eventually exposed through the CLI.
