Summary0000949: Request for Emulex OneConnect OCe10100 Series
DescriptionHi,
As per https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/8/html/considerations_in_adopting_rhel_8/hardware-enablement_considerations-in-adopting-rhel-8 , support for the OneConnect TIGERSHARK NIC, PCI ID 0x19a2:0x0700 device has been dropped from the be2net driver. Is it possible to resurrect support for this device in the be2net driver for el8

lspci -nn | grep Ethernet

04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Emulex Corporation OneConnect OCe10100/OCe10102 Series 10 GbE [19a2:0700] (rev 02)

Many thanks

Took me a while to figure out how certain devices were disabled. It is through:

https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/972729/

which was introduced in the 8.0 GA kernel.

In be_main.c

+#ifdef CONFIG_BE2NET_BE2
     { PCI_DEVICE(BE_VENDOR_ID, BE_DEVICE_ID1) },
- { PCI_DEVICE(BE_VENDOR_ID, BE_DEVICE_ID2) },
     { PCI_DEVICE(BE_VENDOR_ID, OC_DEVICE_ID1) },
+#endif /* CONFIG_BE2NET_BE2 */

Reverting the above allows building the module in request.

$ modinfo ./be2net.ko | grep alias

The following kmod package is currently syncing to our mirror sites. Your feedback much appreciated.

kmod-be2net-12.0.0.0-1.el8_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

Unfortunately that doesn't seem to work correctly. I've attached an image of the output from dmesg, it seems to be failing to initialize the device. Let me know of any more debugging output that would be useful.

Thanks for all your effort!

 According to an upstream solution article "Emulex be2net NIC reports: PCIe error reporting enabled" ( https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1443743 ), this message is not an error. It is informational and completely normal.

Is the module loaded as shown by lsmod? Is the device actually not working?

[EDIT] Never mind these questions.

Could you test-install kernel-ml (currently at 5.3.1) and see if your NIC works? The be2net driver in this kernel has your ID paring [19a2:0700].

dnf --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml

Is a newer version of firmware available?

How about a cold power cycle?

Switching to the kernel-ml did the trick. Many thanks for all your help, keep up the great work!

I guess in an ideal world I would rather run with the stock kernel, do you think that there may be a way of getting the be2net package to work for the default kernel?

Hello,

Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) [19a2:0710] (rev 01) was stripped out too...
In previous releases, modinfo returns:

alias: pci:v000019A2d00000710sv*sd*bc*sc*i*

Can that HW be reverted too?

The current kmod loads correct but throws a signature warning as expected...
I will use kernel-ml menawhile...

Thanks

The source code from kernel 5.x does not build under el8. We'll see if backporting is possible.

I have rebuilt the kmod using the code from the distro kernel as :

kmod-be2net-12.0.0.0-2.el8_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

This has support for the device @landif requested:

alias: pci:v000010DFd00000728sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
alias: pci:v000010DFd00000720sv*sd*bc*sc*i*

@beacon_bonanza, will you uninstall the first version and try this second version?

Working perfectly with the stock kernel and the updated kmod. Thank you so much for your effort, amazing work!
