  Solution: The iocb_cnt calculation was incorrect in the IO path of ping command.
  With every ping command the iocb_cnt was decremented in the IO
  response path without incrementing in the IO request path. Due to this
  the iocb_cnt overruns on the negative side, which makes it larger than
  the IOCB count at firmware level. Hence the driver always returned
  host busy command status as queueing error to the midlayer. Added fix
  to increment the iocb_cnt in the IO path of ping command.

  Version 5.0.0

  - qlcnic: Initial version of "qlcnic" driver


author: QLogic Corp <support@qlogic.com> 5.3.61.3-2
changelog:
  The following features/fixes have been made to the QLogic Linux NIC
  driver

  Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10)

  - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register.
  Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5.
  In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue.
  Change: Set argument to four instead of five.
  Introduced: 5.3.61.2
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  Version 5.3.61.2

  - EPG back up while unload/load in a loop with ping test. [ER0000000134359]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Firmware resets EPG when argument two of destroy tx context is set to 1.
  Driver did not clear this argument and hence it lead to random reset of EPG.
  Change: Set argument two of destroy tx command to zero.
  Introduced: Day one
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A
  OtherSW: N/A

  - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. [ER0000000133783]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after
  registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command.
  Change: So set driver version before registering netdev.
  Introduced: Day one
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A
  OtherSW: N/A

  Version 5.3.61.1

  - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers
  NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded.
  Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API
  which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version
  qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32().

  Version 5.3.61

  - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2).
  However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be
  collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be
  performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info
  that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional
  Tx ring info data.
  Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of

  - Very high Tx values in statistics. [ER0000000134766]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Aggregating tx stats in adapter variable was resulting in an increase in stats even
  after no traffic was run and user runs ifconfig/ethtool command
  Change: qlcnic_update_stats used to accumulate stats in adapter struct at each function call,
  instead accumulate tx stats in local variable and then assign it to adapter structure.

  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A

  Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10)

  - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register.
  Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5.
  In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue.
  Change: Set argument to four instead of five.
  Introduced: 5.3.61.2
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All

  FW: N/A
  OtherSW: N/A

  - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. [ER0000000133783]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after
  registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command.
  Change: So set driver version before registering netdev.
  Introduced: Day one
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A
  OtherSW: N/A

  Version 5.3.61.1

  - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers
  NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded.
  Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API
  which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version
  qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32().

  Version 5.3.61

  - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2).
  However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be
  collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be
  performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info
  that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional
  Tx ring info data.
  Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of
  additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include
  displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.
  Introduced: 5.3.61

  Version 5.3.60

  - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate
  DMA buffer at the driver load time.
  Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver.
  Introduced: 5.2.44
  Impact: HW: All supported adapters
  OS: All
  FW: N/A
  OtherSW: N/A


  - RHEL6.6 SRIOV: Mail box timeout command seen when disabling sriov for vlan macvtap and with ping traffic. [ER0000000132664]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Mailbox command used to timeout because of garbage values in command

  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Aggregating tx stats in adapter variable was resulting in an increase in stats even
  after no traffic was run and user runs ifconfig/ethtool command
  Change: qlcnic_update_stats used to accumulate stats in adapter struct at each function call,
  instead accumulate tx stats in local variable and then assign it to adapter structure.

  Version 5.3.61.3 (HP NCDE 11.10)

  - RH6.5 - qlcnic driver reported error CDRP command failed: 0xe when run qaucli. [ER0000000134551]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Eswitch statistics command failed due to corruption of signature register.
  Maximum arguments in a CDRP command is 4 and driver was setting 5.
  In 5.3.61.2 driver fixed EPG backup issue which uncovered this issue.
  Change: Set argument to four instead of five.

  - RHEL6.5: Failed to set driver version in firmware and got sem lock error message. 7
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Set driver version command was timing out. Stack can call open handler after
  registering netdev, in such case FLR in open handler can race with set version command.
  Change: So set driver version before registering netdev.
  Introduced: Day one

  Version 5.3.61.1

  - Use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API instead of lockless version of the API [ER0000000133950]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: System hangs reported under certain bootup scenarios when all the three protocol drivers
  NIC, SCSI and FC drivers are simultaneously loaded.
  Change: In qlcnic_83xx_setup_idc_parameters() routine use qlcnic_83xx_flash_read32() API
  which takes flash lock internally instead of the lockless version
  qlcnic_83xx_lockless_flash_read32().

  Version 5.3.61

  - Enhance Tx timeout debug data collection [ER0000000106450]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Currently, the firmware dump is collected after max Tx timeouts (which is 2).
  However to diagnose/debug this kind of issue well, the firmware dump needs to be
  collected upon the first occurence of transmit timeout. This action should be
  performed under the control of a debug knob. Secondly, in addition to Tx ring info
  that is currently logged, capture RX/SDS ring info and also include additional
  Tx ring info data.
  Change: Modified the Tx timeout handler routine to collect firmware dump and logging of
  additional TX ring info if netif_msg_tx_err() is set. Added a new routine to include
  displaying of Recieve and Status ring structures.

  Version 5.3.60

  - Pre-allocate DMA buffer used for firmware minidump collection using PEX DMA method [ER0000000132915]
  Defect/Enhancement: Enhancement
  Problem: Allocation of DMA buffer at time of firmware dump collection is not guaranteed. So, pre-allocate
  DMA buffer at the driver load time.
  Change: Pre-allocate DMA buffer, required for PEX-DMA operation of firmware dump collection process, at load time of driver.

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1016487 [ER0000000099050]
  Defect/Enhancement: Defect
  Problem: Disabling SR-IOV while VFs are assigned to guest causes hypervisor crash
  Change: Do not disable SR-IOV on PF driver unload until all VFs are removed from guest. PF unload would block if any VF
  is assigned in the guest. Also we strictly recommend admin that they remove VFs from running guest first and then issue
  PF driver unload.
