SDK/FW Fixed Issues:
• When a system has more than 256 ACL entries, on rare occasion, removing/adding entries may cause some ACL entries not to work.
• When using mirror session policer on spectrum-2, spectrum-3, the actual CIR was 1.28 times more than the configured CIR value
• After warm boot process, when enabling ECN marking and the port is in split mode, traffic sent to the port under congestion (for example, when connecting two ports with a total speed of 50GbE to a single 25GbE port) is not marked.
• Warm boot might fail if the key value SAI_KEY_ACCUMULATED_FLOW_COUNTER_UNITS_IN_KB is set
• If counters are bound to an next hop group, there is a probability the next API calls that modify the next-hop group members will fail.
• In Spectrum platforms Fastboot mode is not operational for Split port with Force mode in 50G speed
• When fine grain next hop group has a size of 2K or 4K members, and group is removed, FW will remove only (size % 2048) members, resulting in leakage of KVD resources
• When reading some port statistics, or bulk reading some Queue or PG statistics, and in parallel reading or writing other counters, FW may, in rare cases, get stuck
• SN2201 Module 1 is considered to be present/linked while no cable/module is plugged
• On Spectrum-3 when port configure to 400G FW might stuck after running mlxlink while 400G interface connected and swap between upper and lower 4 lanes
SAI New features:
• ACL: Added support for an ACL match on the AETH field (SAI_ACL_TABLE_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME, SAI_ACL_ENTRY_ATTR_FIELD_AETH_SYNDROME) to count RoCE NAK and CNP packets.
• PLL Status: Added a new logging entry that alerts the user upon a PLL lock loss event.
• Dual ToR - Additional MAC Address: Added support for setting a MAC address for the router interface which is not part of the 10 bit MAC address available for RIFs on Spectrum-1, as part of the Dual ToR scenario.
• Dual ToR: DSCP Remapping Added support for tunnel QoS maps as part of the Dual TOR scenario.
SAI Fixed issues:
• When setting a WRED profile attribute for a color that was not enabled during the profile create time, an error would be returned. After the fix, a default profile is create on such scenario and the set attribute is applied on top of it
• When calling the flush FDB by using the SAI_FDB_FLUSH_ATTR_BRIDGE_PORT_ID attribute, the bridge bv_id value was filled on the notification callback where it should have been left empty.

SDK fixes
100GbE FCI DAC (10137628-4050LF/HPE PN: 845408-B21) was recognized by mistake as supporting "cable burning' which caused the switch firmware to read page 0x9f (which unsupported in the cable) and to report this cable as having "bad eeprom".
Added remote peer UDP port information in BFD packet event.
After editing an ECMP, the resilient ECMP next-hop counter may not count correctly.
Fixed potential memory leaks in some APIs related to LPM
If TTL_CMD_COPY is used in Encap direction for a packet with no TTL, then the value passed in the ttl data structure will be used if non-zero (default 255 if zero).
In SN2201: When configuring Force mode, user should configure Speed and FEC on both sides
In Flex Tunnel encapsulation flow, if the encapsulation is with an IPv6 header, the flow label field may not be updated as expected.
In some cases, when changing speed to 400GbE over 8 lanes, the first few packets would be dropped.
In some traffic patterns involving small packets, the PortRcvErrors counter may mistakenly count events of local physical errors due to an internal flow in the hardware that involves link packets.
On Spectrum systems, sometimes during link failure, not all previous firmware indications cleared properly, potentially affecting the next link up attempt.
On the NVIDIA Spectrum-2 switch, when receiving a packet with Symbol Errors on ports that are configured to cut-thought mode, a pipeline might get stuck.
PCI calibration changes from a static to a dynamic mechanism.
SDK debug dump shows "Unknown" Counter in RFC3635 Counter Group.
SDK debug dump shows "Unknown" Counter in the PPCNT Traffic Class Counter Group.
SDK Dump missing column headers in some GC tables may result in difficulty understanding the dump.
SLL configuration is missing in SDK dump.
Spectrum-2 systems, do no support 1GbE on supported 40GbE modules.
When binding a UDP port which is already in use for BFD TX session, the error message appears incorrectly.
When Flex Tunnel was used, Flex Modifier sometimes experienced a brief mis-configuration during ISSU.
When many ports are active (e.g. 70 ports up), and the configuration of shared buffer is applied on the fly, occasionally, the firmware might get stuck.
When running 1GbE speeds on SN4600 system, the port remained active while peer side was closed.
When toggling many ports of the Spectrum devices while raising 10GbE link up and link maintenance is enabled, the switch may get stuck and may need to be rebooted.
When trying to reconfigure the Flex Parser header and Flex transition parameters after ISSU, the switch will returned an error even if the configuration was identical to that done before performing the ISSU.
While toggling the cable, and the low power mode is set to ON, an unexpected PMPE event error is received.

Regression tested
- Why I did it
To include latest SDK fixes:
1. On CMIS modules, after low power configuration, the firmware waited for the module state to be ModuleReady instead of ModuleLowPower causing delays.
2. When connecting SN4600C, 100GbE port with CWDM4 module (Gen 3.0), link up time is 30 seconds.

7. Add key/value for accuflow counters

SDK
1. Under various circumstances, Ethernet ports falsely showed that InfiniBand cables were connected.
2. In SN4600C, at times, the link up time in both DAC and optics cables may, in the worst case, take up to 15 seconds.
3. Using SN4600C with copper or optics loopback cables in NRZ speeds, link may raise in long link up times
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Aggregation event is missing for WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty'.
7. Tying the SCL and SDA of the optical modules to 3.3V causes errors.
8. 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.
9. While using SN4600C system with Finisar FTLC1157RGPL 100GbE CWDM4 modules, intermittent link flaps across multiple ports may be observed.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. When connecting SN3800 to Cisco-9000, fast-linkup flow will fail and will rise in the normal flow.
13. Race condition in WJH library: when multiple threads load the LAG shared memory concurrently, the program may crash.
14. Add WJH L2 drop reason 'Unicast egress port list is empty' as a new drop reason.
15. Fixed a memory leak in sx_api_port_sflow_statistics_get API.
16. 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.
17. Fix route issue on Kernel 5.10

- Reduce memory consumption for virtual LAG
- Fixed PSAMPLE listeners cleanup on SDK drivers unloading.
- On Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 systems, slow reaction time to Rx pause packets may lead to buffer overflow on servers.
- BER may be experienced when using 5m DAC cables between SN4700 and SN2700 in 100GbE speed.
- On very rare occasion, when connecting DR4 PAM4 transceiver to 100GbE DR1 NRZ, low BER may be experienced.

Example of syslog message from Mellanox SAI:
"Oct 7 15:39:11.482315 arc-switch1025 INFO syncd#supervisord: syncd Oct 07 15:39:11 NOTICE SAI_BUFFER: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:1"
There is a log INFO from supervisord which actually printed NOTICE and
date again. This confusion happens becuase if SAI is not built to log
to syslog it will log everything to stdout with format "[date] [level]
[message]" so supervisord sends it to syslog with level INFO.
New logs look like:
"Oct 7 15:40:21.488055 arc-switch1025 NOTICE syncd#SDK [SAI_BUFFER]: mlnx_sai_buffer.c[3893]- mlnx_clear_buffer_pool_stats: Clear pool stats pool id:17"
