X710 and mlx5_core together on same server

I have a amd server with centos 7.9 I am trying to using the the kernel driver for 2 cards:

  1. Ethernet Controller X710 for 10GbE SFP+ 1572 --> i40e
  2. MT27800 Family [ConnectX-5] 1017' --> mlx5_core

For mellanox i used:

  • /usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/base/auxiliary.ko
  • /usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/mlx5_core.ko

If i try to load mellanox auxiliary i get the following error because i40e auxiliary is already loaded ( it happens also with i40e if mellanox auxiliary is already loaded)

insmod /usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/base/auxiliary.ko
insmod: ERROR: could not insert module /usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-1160.53.1.el7.x86_64/weak-updates/mlnx-ofa_kernel/drivers/base/auxiliary.ko: File exists

And if i try to load the mlx5_core i get the following errors

mlx5_core: disagrees about version of symbol auxiliary_device_init
mlx5_core: Unknown symbol auxiliary_device_init (err -22)
mlx5_core: disagrees about version of symbol auxiliary_driver_unregister
mlx5_core: Unknown symbol auxiliary_driver_unregister (err -22)

Can they work together?

Each one of them succeeded to work seperatly with the auxiliary.ko that arrive with the driver

It happens only from i40e version 2.17.15 - perhaps due to change "Add RDMA auxilary bus submodule support". In 2.17.4 it doesn't happen

Just ran into this exact same issue myself. Did you find a work around for it? Would prefer not to have to edit the driver build to rename the .ko modules, but that is likely the solution.

Renaming the intel .ko to int_auxiliary.ko seems to fix the issue, but that requires a lot of editing.... Intel.... why did you do this?? I am going to file a case with Intel so see if the next round they can fix this, I would prefer not to need to support moving all these edits forward.

My workaround was to go to the previous version, since I don't need that latest version updates. But if you could put here the changes you did to fix it, would be great. And also a link to the ticket you opened to intel so I can follow it also.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
