//Document all versions here INTEL(R) PRO/1000 NDIS6 driver for Windows Vista x64. **************************** 11.8.35.0 (Pci Express) NOT Digitally signed Date: 07/01/2010 Comments: Version 11.8.35.0 is the initial driver version for this project. ******************************* All Windows Versions 11.8.57.0 (Pci Express) NOT Digitally signed Date: 08/03/2010 Comments: Other Changes Made: Added checks for adapter context to resolve a race condition between filter resource requirement IRPs and MiniportInitialize Defect hsd_ladsw 3045223: PCH: e1k driver not reading the Half Duplex phy statistic counters hsd_ladsw 3143668: SIPS and LSBS: Unnecessary link speed change occurs at 10Mb Other Description: Updated and corrected use of FPGA_SUPPORT. Changes Made: Turned off FPGA support by default. Replaced NIANTIC_FPGA_SUPPORT and TWINVILLE_FPGA_SUPPORT with the generic FPGA_SUPPORT that everyone else uses. Removed some Niantic FPGA code that is no longer valid with the new FPGA machines. Other Changes Made: Added new fn to check for PCH devices. Added port gen cfg in powerup for Lewisville. Other Description: New registry parameter TxDelay. Changes Made: Added registry parameter "TxDelay", which specifies a delay in microseconds after every write to Tx Tail. The default is 0 (no delay). The code is wrapped in #ifdef FPGA_SUPPORT because it is only used when working with an FPGA. Other Description: To partially ease hotspots in RxProcessNextPacket, checksum offload function was re-factored Changes Made: There is a new field called RxDescriptorStatus which is part of the PRECEIVE_BUFFER, populated in the RxProcessNextDescriptor so we do not need to dig into it in the CSO function. Convert the if-else checks into a switch case statement. Other Changes Made: Added the port gen cfg in init flow for lewisville. Defect hsd_ladsw 3332377: Lewisville fails WOL from Directed Packet Root Cause: This issue was root-caused to the fact that the SMBus Address was not programmed into the PHY while going down to Sx on first boot. It is present in subsequent S0->Sx cycles which is why WoL works in these cycles. Resolution Notes: Modified the driver to always program the SMBus Address into the PHY when going down to Sx states. Testing Hints: Ensure the WoL works in multiple S0->Sx cycles. Other Description: Fixed ARP/ND offload DEBUGFUNC() related macro calls; adding string quotes. Changes Made: Fixed ARP/ND offload DEBUGFUNC() related macro calls; adding string quotes. New Feature Feature Description: Allocate dedicated interrupt vectors for FCoE so that FCoE interrupts no longerdepend on RSS either in terms of number of queues or in terms of RSS CPUscontrolled by the OS. Changes Made: Eight additional msix message resources are allocated just for FCoE, and theircpu affinities are spread across sockets so that FCoE is more likely to have asame-socket CPU to use for any CPU on which storage traffic might be initiated.The total number of MSIX messages requested is now (max(16,numcores) + 2 + 8).The additional 8 for FCoE puts some additional pressure on PCI resourcearbitration, so future changes might mitigate this by reducing the numcorespart of the preceding equation (i.e. by not targetting every possible RSS cpu).The small additional pressure is unlikely to be a problem even withoutmitigation; it will be very unlikely to trigger fallback behavior any soonerthat it currently occurs. Testing Hints: Exercise FCoE and observe queues are statically associated with cpus. Exercise RSS, observe RSS OID's occurring (either with oids.exe to monitor stats or via debug output in checked build of base driver), and observe that the FCoE cpus do *not* change when the RSS cpus change. Defect hsd_ladsw 3331784: Low network througput with Jumbo Frames + Lewisville Sugar Bay & Huron River. Root Cause: This issue is caused by a large number of missed packets that could not be DMA-ed to host memory, thereby resulting in bad throughput numbers. It is directly related to the C6 CPU state on the platform. If C6 is disabled in the BIOS, this issue does not occur. The exit latency from C6 appears to be more than the time required to get the packet into Host memory and hence large numbers of packets are dropped (because there is no more space in the Packet Buffer to hold them) Resolution Notes: Modified the ITR algorithm function to add a work-around that accounts for missed packets (as determined by the MPC register) and pegs the CurrentITRMode at LowestLatency. The work-around will ensure that the LowestLatency mode stays for at least 100 DPCs before we allow it to increment to the next order of magnitude (LowLatency) Build Changes hsd_ladsw 3332476: E1C driver does not set Host LinkSec Connection Active” (LSECA) bit in the H2ME register when enabling MACsec Brief Description: clears H2ME bits for linksec connections. Other Description: Moved all LSC processing to a work-item thread to improve system performance Changes Made: Moved all of the Link Status Change (LSC) processing code from the DPC function to a work-item function. The advantage gained here is that work item threads run at IRQL=PASSIVE_LEVEL and hence do not stall the CPU (or the system) as it would when processed in a DPC Other Description: Functions IncrementAdapterIndex() and GetAdapterIndex() need to return the index of the adapter (usually AdapterNumber - 1) Changes Made: Modified IncrementAdapterIndex() and GetAdapterIndex() to properly return AdapterIndex of 1 less than AdapterCount. Defect hsd_ladsw 3332672: Spring Fountain - NDOS Tester 6.0 - 1c_faulthandling test causes the system to bug check Other Description: A number of Klocwork fixes for null pointers, errors with classes, and uninitialized variables Changes Made: A number of Klocwork fixes for null pointers, errors with classes, and uninitialized variables New Feature Feature Description: DCR 996 - Event Log Enhancement Changes Made: Added code to extract the bus, device and function corresponding to the instance. Added code to embed this information in the event log if the branding string (part of event log) exceeds the MAX limit, there by adding identification (which was lost earlier) for corresponding driver instance. Other Description: AIFS oid fixes got reverted, added back for HSD 3145287 Changes Made: AIFS oid fixes got reverted, added back for HSD 3145287 Other Description: added full support for reading and writing to VF PCI config space Changes Made: pass untrapped calls to Ndis to get HW values Defect HSD LADSW 3332679 Customized LED value in NVM not applied with LV Beta SW Root Cause The LED writes (and smbus address) were not taking effect because sw has gated ppw and the driver is checking for oem write enable bits Resolution Removed the check for oem write enable bits for Nahum5 **************************** All Windows Versions 11.8.67.0 (Pci Express) NOT Digitally signed Date: 08/19/2010 Comments: Defect hsd_ladsw 3332339: CERTS: Lewisville fails WoLMagicPacket New Feature Feature Description: Interrupt refactoring to decouple User Priority to Traffic Class mapping, so that FCOE will use a fixed TC. Changes Made: Base driver reads the UP-TC mapping given by DCB to determine which TC to use given the UP. New Feature Feature Description: Iteration on new OID format to supply information on mapped queues in redundant but more convenient form. Changes Made: In addition to supplying a QueueBitmap for each cpu that has one or more queues mapped, supply an absolute queue number and a count indicating how many queues mapped to the CPU. Queues>1 are not expected in practice, but the immutable nature of the OID generally benefits from fully complete expression. Testing Hints: Write FCoE query OID code per the new format. In the FCoE protocol driver, read back Queue and QueuesMapped values for CPUs that have queues mapped. Defect hsd_ladsw 3332727: Windows FCoE: Basic LUN connectivity issues with re-factored RSS changes Defect hsd_ladsw 3332794: Lewisville B0 fails to link correctly when forced to full duplex Other Description: The FCoE driver saw asserts because the single ether type setting for TC3 was incorrect. Changes Made: Queues 48-55 are for FCoE. The traffic on these queues is FCOE and other packets for TC 3. Therefore we cannot set single ether type flag just on a queue just because we detected an fcoe packet. The driver now checks the ethertype of every NBL in the list. If they are all ethertype FCoE on the given queues, the single ether type flag is set. Other Description: Minor change to the handling of FIP packets. Changes Made: Removed the check for FIP packets that forced them out of the same TC as FCOE packets. **************************** All Windows Versions 11.8.71.0 (Pci Express) NOT Digitally signed Date: 09/07/2010 Comments: Defect hsd_ladsw 3331880: CERTS: Lewisville fails offloadchecksum Root Cause: K1 beacon duration was changed from 10 usec to 8 usec at 1G that resolved the dropped packet case between the phy and the mac Additional Notes: Built with v 3.9 of shared code that has K1 beacon fix and Jumbo Frames code cleanup Build Changes Brief Description: Code fix in powerdown to prevent Lewisville C0 from enabling ARP/NS offload in Management Engine Power Policy 1 **************************** All Windows Versions 11.8.74.0 (Pci Express) DIGITALLY SIGNED: WHQL ID: 1426831 Date: 09/20/2010 Comments: Defect hsd_ladsw 3333323: PROMOTE from sighting: Lewisville: RLSS links at 100Mbps instead of 10Mbps in Sx states Root Cause: This issue is caused by the fact that the ME programs the LPLU bits in the PHY OEM bits register by reading corresponding bits in the MAC PHYCtrl register. The s/w driver is not programming the MAC PHYCtrl LPLU bits when RLSS is checked/unchecked. Resolution Notes: The LPLU bits are now written to both the PHY OEM bits register and the MAC PHYCtrl register when the 'Reduce link speed on standby' option is checked/unchecked. Defect hsd_ladsw 3704638: Lewisville - multiple adapter enable/disable causing code 10 error on Customer platform Root Cause: The Lewisville windows driver on system would occasionally code 10 after multiple driver resets. This was due to an unknown phy id. The phy reg read was incorrectly returning the data from the previous phy reg read, so the phy id returned was either all Fs when running in fast mode (which occurred 100%), or 0x01540154 when running in slow mode. Resolution Notes: Added a mac check for PCH2 to get the phy id only when in slow mode. The phy transaction logic takes 80us to complete a read or write, so a delay of 100us was added to the mdic read and write calls for PCH2. A mac check was added in the phy calls rather than a phy check in case the phy id is unknown when the function is called. Testing Hints: Disable and re-enable the driver multuple times and verify that the driver does not code 10. Next steps: Will update the HSD number for the errata sometime this week. **************************** All Windows Versions 11.8.74.0 (Pci Express) No driver version change NOT DIGITALLY SIGNED Date: 10/19/2010 Comments: Driver INF files updated to add the 4-part device ID for the Gold Coast platform. 8086/1502/04AD/1028 **************************** Windows Vista and Windows XP 11.8.78.0 (Pci Express) Digitally Signed: WHQL ID 1431128 Date: 10/29/2010 Comments: Defect hsd_ladsw 3704590: Code changes from Si SV testing Root Cause: OEM bits not set for PCH2. gig disable and LPLU bits set for D0 instead of D3 Resolution Notes: Changes made to shared code in 3.9.0.3 v and tip. Changes to set oem bits made in the windows driver for driver unload Customization Brief Description: Added a key to enable Lewisville JF performance at the expense of ping timeouts Customization Brief Description: Changed default Rx PBA on Lewisville to 18K, users can change to 14K with registry key for 9K JF performance adjustment Defect hsd_ladsw 3705060: PROMOTE from sighting: AT7 -Power: ME doesn't answer to ping in S3/S4 when "wake on pattern match" is set in Host driver. ****************************Download Driver Pack
