MLNX_OFED   4.3-1.0.1.0 provides the following changes and new features:

ConnectX-5
- Multi-Packet Work Request (WR)
	Added support for the following multi-packet WR related
	verbs for control path:
	• ibv_exp_query_device
	• ibv_exp_create_srq
	For further information on the use of these verbs, please
	refer to the Verbs man page.

- Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI) [beta]
	Added support for CAPI, an interface that enables
	ConnectX-5 adapter cards to provide the best performance
	for Power and OpenPower based platforms.

- Tunneled Atomic
	Added support for RDMA atomic commands offload so that
	when an RDMA Write operation is issued, the payload indicates
	which atomic operation to perform, instead of being
	written to the Memory Region (MR).

- Packet Pacing
	Added support for the following advanced burst control
	parameters:
	• max_burst_sz - for indicating the maximal burst
	size of packets
	• typical_pkt_sz - for improving the accuracy of the
	rate limiter

ConnectX-4/ConnectX-4 Lx/ConnectX-5
- Virtual MAC
	Removed support for Virtual MAC feature.

- RoCE LAG
	Added out of box RoCE LAG support for RHEL 7.2 and RHEL 6.9.

- Dropped Counters
	Added a new counter rx_steer_missed_packets which
	provides the number of packets that were received by the
	NIC, yet were discarded/dropped since they did not match
	any flow in the NIC steering flow table.
	Added the ability for SR-IOV counter rx_dropped to count
	the number of packets that were dropped while vport was
	down.

- Relaxed Ordering (RSYNC)
	Added support for RSYNC feature to ensure correct ordering
	of memory operations between the GPU and HCA.
	mlx5 Driver Reset Flow Added support for triggering software reset for firmware/
	driver recovery. When fatal errors occur, firmware can be
	reset and driver reloaded.

ConnectX-4 Lx/ConnectX-5
- Striding RQ with HW Time-Stamping
	Added the option to retrieve the HW timestamp when polling
	for completions from a completion queue that is attached
	to a multi-packet RQ (Striding RQ).
