Hello Mauricio, or anyone else affected, Accepted debian-installer into bionic-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian- installer/20101020ubuntu543.11 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users. If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-bionic to verification-done-bionic. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-bionic. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed. Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping! N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days. ** Changed in: debian-installer (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: In Progress => Fix Committed ** Tags removed: verification-done-bionic ** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-bionic -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836635 Title: Bionic: support for Solarflare X2542 network adapter (sfc driver) Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in debian-installer source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in debian-installer source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Invalid Status in debian-installer source package in Disco: Invalid Status in linux source package in Disco: Invalid Status in debian-installer source package in Eoan: Invalid Status in linux source package in Eoan: Invalid Bug description: [Impact] * Support for Solarflare X2542 network adapter (Medford2 / SFC9250) in the Bionic sfc driver. * This network adapter is present on recent hardware, at least HP 2019 and Dell PowerEdge R740xd systems. * On recent-hardware deployments that would rather use the Bionic LTS / GA supported kernel and cannot move to HWE kernels this adapter is non functional at all. [Test Case] * The X2542 adapter has been exercised with iperf3 and nc across 2 hosts on 25G link speed w/ MTUs 1400/1500/9000 on both directions, for 1 week. Its performance is on par with the Cosmic 4.18 kernel (which contains all these patches) and the out-of-tree driver from the vendor. * The 7000 series adapter (for regression testing an old model, supported previously) has been exercised with iperf and netperf (TCP_STREAM, UDP_STREAM, TCP_RR, UDP_RR, and TCP_CRR) in one host (client/server in different adapter ports isolated with network namespaces, so traffic goes through the network switch), on 10G link speed on MTUs 1500/9000, for 1 weekend. No regressions observed between the original and test kernels. [Regression Potential] * The patchset touches a lot of the sfc driver, so the potential for regression definitely exists. Thus, a lot of consideration and testing happened: * It has been tested on other adapter which uses the old code, and no regressions were found so far (see 7000 series above). * The patchset is exclusively cherry-picks, no single backport. * The patchset essentially moves the Bionic driver up in the upstream 'git log --oneline -- drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/': - since commit d4a7a8893d4c ("sfc: pass valid pointers from efx_enqueue_unwind") - until commit 7f61e6c6279b ("sfc: support FEC configuration through ethtool") - except for 2 commits (not needed / unrelated) - commit 42356d9a137b ("sfc: support RSS spreading of ethtool ntuple filters") - commit 9baeb5eb1f83 ("sfc: falcon: remove duplicated bit-wise or of LOOPBACK_SGMII") - plus 2 more recent commits (fixes) - commit 458bd99e4974 ("sfc: remove ctpio_dmabuf_start from stats") - commit 0c235113b3c4 ("sfc: stop the TX queue before pushing new buffers") To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/debian-installer/+bug/1836635/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
