The following X3522 updates have been made:
-
The minimum compatible X3522 driver version is v1.6.6.0.
- Support has been added for additional hardware filter types.
ef_vi can use the hardware support for IP Proto and multicast-mismatch filters where supported by the NIC.
- Filter features are reported through the ef_vi capabilities
API.
Previous versions of Onload were inconsistent in how filter support was reported in the case of X3522, where some filters are provided through hardware support and some are emulated in software. The behavior has now changed. A filter is only reported as supported if it can be provided in hardware.
