This upgrades the OFED driver package to the mlnx-ofa_kernel-5.9.tgz
located in https://linux.mellanox.com/public/repo/mlnx_ofed/5.9-0.5.6.0/SRPMS/
In addition, removes irq_update_affinity_hint related patch
because the fix is already included in the source code.
Reason:
The required Mellanox drivers must be upgraded to the latest version
(5.8+) to support Dell 15G and 16G platforms.
Verification:
- Build module success for kernel-std/kernel-rt.
- Build package success for rdma-core, mstflint and mlnx-tools.
- Install onto a StarlingX system with All-in-One lab with network
adapters Mellanox's OFED. The network adapters of controllers
are Mellanox Technologies MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5].
- Install onto a StarlingX system in labs with network
adapters Mellanox's OFED. The network adapters of controllers
are [ConnectX-6 DX],[ConnectX-6 LX].
- The physical function interfaces are up and pass packets for rt
and std.
- create vfs, ensure that the interface can come up and pass packets.
- RDMA/Infiniband over Ethernet functionalities of the Mellanox adapters
were successfully tested using the Linux RDMA community's perftest
package.
