From fb738b99ef229bd3d25f1b3e5503925dba9b1a7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ido Schimmel Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 19:33:51 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mlxsw: Fix firmware flashing The commit cited below moved firmware flashing functionality from mlxsw_spectrum to mlxsw_core, but did not adjust the Kconfig dependencies. This makes it possible to have mlxsw_core as built-in and mlxfw as a module. The mlxfw code is therefore not reachable from mlxsw_core and firmware flashing fails: # devlink dev flash pci/0000:01:00.0 file mellanox/mlxsw_spectrum-13.2008.1310.mfa2 devlink answers: Operation not supported Fix by having mlxsw_core select mlxfw.

A request is retried up to 5 times. When the system is under heavy load, replies are not always processed in time and EMAD transactions fail. Make the process more robust to such delays by using exponential backoff. First wait for up to 200ms, then retransmit and wait for up to 400ms and so on.
