This was a cosmetic issue with no functional impact other than an increase in the dropped packets count. Linux: Packets received during the driver load are displayed as dropped because the packet drop counter was started before the driver was fully loaded. This issue is fixed in ice driver 1.7.x and above. Ethtool -S statistics were unaffected by this issue and would show correct counts. Linux: There was a statistics issue where ifconfig/ip -s link show could potentially show overall statistics counting backwards due to a timing issue in stats collection. Linux: Rapid unloading and loading of the irdma and ice drivers may cause a kernel panic. When the MTU is set to one of these values the VM may experience a memory leak leading to kernel panic when TCP traffic is running from a link partner to the VF. Linux: For configurations in which a VF is attached to a VM, avoid setting the MTU value of the VF within the range of 9199-9202. Linux: When changing the RSS queue value in VM while Double VLAN is configured, rx_vlano may stop incrementing correctly. This issue impacts interrupt mode workloads only there is no impact to workloads using busy poll mode, such as ADQ. Linux: Linux ice driver versions 1.4.x through 1.6.x have a performance regression that affects NVMe over Fabric baseline TCP performance using interrupt mode.
