[dpdk-ci] Minutes of DPDK Lab Meeting, March 26th

[O'Driscoll, Tim]

OVS Tests:
- Jeremy and Aaron are still working on setting these up. Expectation is that they'll be running on the temporary hardware by the next meeting.
- Once these are running on the temporary hardware, we'll try running them on the existing vendor hardware.
- The test suite does include some performance tests, but no performance data will be published, only functional test results.
- Testing will be based on the latest DPDK OVS branch that Ian Stokes maintains, with DPDK master.

New Tests:
- Jeremy has created a google doc to capture proposed new tests. It's at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WbRoIq0f5SmHM6D5sLbeh7hxRJdE2ppwB5JECHllLjg/edit?usp=sharing.
- Please add proposed new tests to this.
- We'll review and prioritise at the next meeting.
- This can also be used to scope work for a test contractor. Budget for this is available, but we need a clear scope of work before proceeding with this.

Identifying Correct Sub-Tree for Patches:
- Ali's script is running and is working. An updated version should be available soon.

Test Failures:
- Jeremy has been seeing more failures recently, typically compilation errors on next-net. He'll follow up with Ferruh on the details.

My proposals (added in the doc):

- Compilation with coverage for Arm/Intel 32/64 and Linux/FreeBSD/Windows
  with make/meson and gcc/clang
	Not HW dependent (cross-compilation for Arm)
	The matrix can be big if testing several distros, etc.
- Unit tests
	dependent on CPU arch

About non-HW dependent testing, I think we can share the workload of such test
across all machines.

I added some suggestions as well - performance tests for vhost/virtio, crypto and compression.

We should discuss the priorities at tomorrow's meeting, so if others have inputs please add them before then.
