Issue 1 seems like a red herring, cat doesn't modify output, nor does ethtool know if its output is going to a console or a pipe, its all the same. And given issue 2 (that the output of the thresholds, etc are spurriously changing and wrong), suggests that they are spurriously changing and wrong regardless of what cat does. That said, I think issue two is a problem with the mlx4 driver. Specifically that the driver is copying garbage data. The three ethtool functions at work here are: mlx4_en_get_module_info mlx4_en_get_module_eeprom mlx4_get_module_info When you run ethtool -m on this driver, the kernel calls mlx4_en_get_module_info to determine the length of the eeprom, and that value will be either 256 or 512 bytes. Lets assume that the value is 256 for the sake of argument Next it calls mlx4_en_get_module_eeprom, passing in that size 256 to actually read the eeprom data, which in turn calls mlx4_get_module_info to fetch the data from hardware, again, passing in 256 as the size for the first call (theres a loop, but it will only get executed once in this scenario) mlx4_get_module_info then issues the appropriate mailbox commands to dump the eeprom. Here it starts to go sideways. The mailbox buffer allocated for the return data is of type mlx4_mad_ifc, which has some front matter information and a data buffer that is 192 bytes long! A little further down in the function, size gets restricted if the buffer crosses a page boundary, but given that the size is 256 on the first call here, and offset is zero on the first call, we're not crossing anything, so size remains unchanged. The output mailbox buffer outmad->data (a 192 byte array), then gets cast to a sturt mlx4_cable_info structure, which has its own internal data buffer that is only 48 bytes long. The memcpy in this functionthen copies cable_info->data to the buffer that gets returned to ethtool, but it copies size bytes (256), even though the source data buffer is only 48 bytes long. That 48 byte array is embedded in the larger 192 byte structure, so there won't be a panic on the overrun, but theres no telling what garbage is in the buffer beyond those first 48 bytes. Even if the remaining 144 bytes have valid eeprom data, its less than the required 256 bytes. The additional copy may cause a panic, but if the buffer commonly bumps up against other allocated memory, that will go unnoticed. after the memcpy, mlx4_get_module_info just returns the size of the passed in buffer (256), and so the calling function thinks its work is done, and lets the kernel send back the buffer with garbage data to ethtool. I think the mlx4 guys have some work to do here.
