            Bug ID: 26
           Summary: Ixgbe driver does not ensure FWSM firmware mode is
                    valid before using it
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: ethdev
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: solal.pirelli@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

The Intel 82599 data sheet
(https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/datasheets/82=
599-10-gbe-controller-datasheet.pdf,
=C2=A78.2.3.4.10) states of the FWSM register's bit 15 (FW_Val_bit) that "H=
ardware
clears this bit in reset de-assertion so software can know firmware mode (b=
its
1-5) is invalid".

However, the ixgbe driver does not check that bit before using the firmware
mode, e.g. in ixgbe_mng_present
(http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk/tree/drivers/net/ixgbe/base/ixgbe_common.c?h=
=3Dv18.02#n5194).
