Bug Fixes in This Version

4469496

Description: On some environments, when an application deletes all flow rules from a template table and then attempted to read flow rules to the same table, an error with fail to create rte flow is raised.

Keyword: Flow rules

Detected in version: 2.9.2

4391384

Description: The UCX package is built without GDR copy support due to an unintended change in the build system that excluded CUDA. As a result, applications relying on GDR functionality in UCX are unable to use it.

Keyword: GDR support; CUDA missing; build environment

Detected in version: 2.9.2

4403063

Description: When the package mlnx-fw-updater is installed, it runs its firmware loading script. That script will automatically try to start the MFT kernel support as part of its hardware scan loop. This may cause an issue on some devices.

Keyword: MFT; firmware

Detected in version: 2.9.2

4259675

Description: In rare cases, systems using shared receive queues (shared_rxq) may experience incorrect packet handling during high-throughput traffic.

Keyword: Shared RXQ; packet corruption; routing error

Detected in version: 2.9.2

4410028

Description: On SLES 15 SP5 with kernel version 5.14.21-150500.55.68-default or later, installation of mlnx-ofa_kernel drivers fails to use weak-modules, causing the system to fall back to inbox OFED modules. This occurs because the kernel used to build the drivers (5.14.21-150500.53-default) did not include the mana_ib driver, while newer kernels do—triggering a weak-modules sanity check failure due to the missing replacement.

Keyword: Weak modules; Kernel version mismatch; inbox driver conflict

Detected in version: 2.9.0

4403055

Description: Repeated power cycles cause corruption in the EXT4 file system.

Keywords: Power cycle; FS corruption

Description: On BlueField-3 systems, requests to /redfish/v1/Managers/Bluefield_BMC may take several minutes and return an internal error or timeout. Other Redfish resources may remain responsive, and the UEFI System Configuration page may also load slowly.

Reported in version: 26.04

5159819

Fixed in Release:

32.43.3608

4444306
