Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/5] bnxt_en: Improve firmware flashing.
Date: Sun, 13 Dec 2020 06:51:41 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1607860306-17244-1-git-send-email-michael.chan@broadcom.com> (raw)
This patchset improves firmware flashing in 2 ways:
- If firmware returns NO_SPACE error during flashing, the driver will
create the UPDATE directory with more staging area and retry.
- Instead of allocating a big DMA buffer for the entire contents of
the firmware package size, fallback to a smaller buffer to DMA the
contents in multiple DMA operations.
Michael Chan (2):
bnxt_en: Rearrange the logic in bnxt_flash_package_from_fw_obj().
bnxt_en: Enable batch mode when using HWRM_NVM_MODIFY to flash
packages.
Pavan Chebbi (3):
bnxt_en: Refactor bnxt_flash_nvram.
bnxt_en: Restructure bnxt_flash_package_from_fw_obj() to execute in a
loop.
bnxt_en: Retry installing FW package under NO_SPACE error condition.
