Bug description:
  SRU Justification:
  ==

  [Impact]

  * Since older firmware may not support the uplink state setting, this
  can lead to problems.

  * Now expose firmware indication that it supports setting eswitch
  uplink state to follow the physical link.

  * If a kernel without the backport is used on an adapter which does
  not have the latest adapter firmware, the adapter silently drops
  outgoing traffic.

  * This is a regression which was introduced with kernel 5.4.0-48.

  [Fix]

  * upstream fix (as in 5.11):
    9c9be85f6b59d80efe4705109c0396df18d4e11d 9c9be85f6b59 "net/mlx5e: Add 
missing capability check for uplink follow"

  * backport for focal: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/529543695/0001
  -Backport-net-mlx5e-Add-missing-capability-check-for-.patch

  * backport for groovy: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/529775887/0001
  -Backport-groovy-net-mlx5e-Add-missing-capability-che.patch

  [Test Case]

  * Two IBM Z or LinuxONE systems, installed with Ubuntu Server 20.04 or
  20.10 on LPAR, are needed.

  * Each with RoCE Express 2.x adapters (Mellanox ConnectX4/5) attached
  and firmware 16.29.1006 or earlier.

  * Assign an IP address to the adapters on both systems and try to ping
  one node from the other.

  * The ping will just fail with the stock Ubuntu kernels (not having
  the patch), but will succeed with kernels that incl. the patches (like
  the test builds from the PPA mentioned below).

  * Due to the lack of hardware this needs to be verified by IBM.

  [Regression Potential]

  * Undesired / erroneous behavior in case the modified if condition is
  assembled in a wrong way.

  * Again wrong behavior in case the modification of the capability bits
  in mlx5_ifc_cmd_hca_cap_bits are wrong.

  * All modification are limited to the mlx5 driver only.

  * The changes are relatively limited with effectively two lines
  removed and 4 added (three of them adjustments of the capability bits
  only).

  * The modifications were done and tested by IBM and reviewed by
  Mellanox (see LP comments),   based on a PPA test build.

  [Other]

  * The above patch/commit was upstream accepted with kernel 5.11.

  * Hence the patch is not needed for hirsute, just needs to be SRUed
  for groovy and focal.

  * The commit couldn't be cleanly cherry-picked, mainly due to changed
  context, hence the backport(s).

  __

  Expose firmware indication that it supports setting eswitch uplink state
  to follow (follow the physical link). Condition setting the eswitch
  uplink admin-state with this capability bit. Older FW may not support
  the uplink state setting.

  Available fix with kernel 5.11.
  
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9c9be85f6b59d80efe4705109c0396df18d4e11d

  Now required for Ubuntu 20.04 via backport patch.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1921104] Re: net/mlx5e: Add missing capability check for uplink follow for Ubuntu 20.04

2021-03-24 Thread Frank Heimes
The patch/commit is as '9c9be85f6b59' in hirsute since Ubuntu-5.11.0-11.12.
Hence marking the hirsute entry as Fix Released.

The patch applies cleanly to focal master-next.
A test kernel is currently build here:
https://launchpad.net/~fheimes/+archive/ubuntu/lp1921104
So updating the focal entry to Triaged.

Need to check if the patch also applies to groovy's 5.8.
