[illumos-gate] 17428 idmapd ephemeral id allocators can stutter -- Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld⊙ho>

sommerfeld: thanks for that, it's not my problem, but no doubt it was going to be

richlowe: that probably doesn't fix the test problem you're seeing.

or, if it did, I'd be very surprised.

No, it doesn't, when you proposed it I checked we weren't in any way re-entering

but it also was clearly broken

so I'm glad you fixed it :)

oh, there were ways for it to fail while remaining single-threaded - but only after 8K ephemeral allocations.

next in my queue is code.illumos.org/c/illumos-gate/+/4242 followed by an illumos-gcc pull request (the libstdc++ locale thingy)

in smartos when we boot a recent platform it updates the firmawre for chelsio to 1.27.5.0, but I noticed that it alone didn't update the card enough to make pxe booting working . Not until I flashed following the process here gist.github.com/Smithx10/7f99fa8f32664540dc4f1713a8e3a644 via going into the bios was the card able to pxe boot. I noticed that the Boot Version and Config Version was different. 2.0.0.48 vs 2.0.0.8.

is there anyway for update the config version and boot version to the latest version on boot of SmartOS / Illumos?

Im not sure if those version updates are fixing pxe or if its perhaps the BOOTX64 efi from tianocore.

Smithx10: I don't know off hand but it seems extremely plausible that the EFI option ROM (for PXE) and the actual NIC firmware could be totally different separately versioned and flashable things

Given that the EFI thing is presumably to be read/executed on the x86 host CPU, and the NIC firmware is the thing running on whatever CPU(s) are on the NIC itself

are we able to update those on boot? I tried looking for cubt4.bin and boot.cfg in smartos-live and illumos-gate a

Im not really sure if they get updated or not. Hoping we can push this into just when it boots so i dont have to do this via the bios with tmux magic and redfish iso mounting
