Currently we are just using the crypto_aesni_mb cryptodev and AES-CBC test vector. Ideally we will expand to cover other test vectors, but we are running into some complications: * Most test vectors cause a =E2=80=9Ctest vector unsupported=E2=80=9D ou= tput when running on the crypto_aesni_mb cyptodev, although the dpdk page for that documentation suggests it should support other test vectors. * AES-GCM test vector will run through and return a cipher text error. We can explore using different cryptodevs than the one in the DPDK FIPS sample app user guide, but our understanding is that this cryptodev should be validating with more than just the AES-CBC test vector - some documentation may be dated or development needed on the DPDK side. * We have documented our problems with using the sample application HERE. The biggest issue seems the documentation for the sample application usage is very outdated, the build requirements refer to outdated / nonexistent commits, and what algorithms are supported by each cryptodev. We are still exploring this situation but if there are indeed issues with the sample application itself then FIPS testing coverage will remain limited in the short term. * We have set up Broadcom 100G nics for DTS testing on the Altra server (ARM), and the Broadcom servers (x86), currently publishing DTS functional tests only. Both test beds have issues with inadequate PCIe slots. These cards ideally run on Gen 4 x16 slots, however we are not able to provide adequate PCIe slots with the servers we are running on currently: * The Altra server appears to be fine as a DUT, but the tester server is using gen 3 x8 (form factor x16) pcie slots, which is not adequate for full performance testing with these nics * Broadcom has the same issue except it=E2=80=99s for both tester and se= rver DUTs * Two possible solutions include new servers or performance testing with limited throughput requirements. * We have run into a similar problem with enabling the Mellanox 100G card recently on the Altra server as well. * We will continue to review this situation with the aim of discussing more concrete proposals or solutions in the next CI meeting. * Work continues with setting up dedicated arm systems for unit testing on the ThunderX2 servers. We have run into some more complications with maintaining multi-arch container image manifests in our container registry. Most images work fine but we continue to bugfix for a few remaining distro builds. This is the blocker for utilizing these systems right now. * ZUC/Snow3G: The container images needed to run these unit tests appear to build fine using our new system, so we plan to bring this testing online today or tomorrow * Broadcom-25G instability: We noticed some instability with our performance results on the Broadcom-25G NIC, and made some CPU configuration changes including isolating cores for DTS. We are now seeing much more consistent behavior from this test bed. * It was a very bad week of weather around UNH last week (January 23) and we had multiple power blips and outages. Apologies for the inconvenience - with our migration to a different server rack in the near future with a battery UPS, these interruptions should be less frequent. * Mailing list: automated emails to test-report email list may have a problem with new UNH IT policies, where the lab will be required to enable DMARC enforcement in the future. Ali will check on this for the dpdk.org list server. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Lab * N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loongarch Lab * N/A --------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions * Aaron is changing some of the patchwork polling scripts to poll the events API instead of the series API directly - happening this week. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D DTS Improvements & Test Development * UNH Lab: the new DTS Hello World patch and Dockerfile patch were run on community lab servers without issue - further discussion in DTS WG section =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Any other business * Next meeting is February 16th --=20 Patrick Robb Technical Service Manager UNH InterOperability Laboratory 21 Madbury Rd, Suite 100, Durham, NH 03824 www.iol.unh.edu --00000000000033db1905f3b94166 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
