Minutes

=====================================================================
General Announcements

* Nothing specific

=====================================================================
CI Status

---------------------------------------------------------------------
UNH-IOL Community Lab

* Still working to bring the new arm / Ampere systems online, stability
issues in the tester server traced to a failing RAID controller, working
with the arm team to get this through the RMA process.
* This week (May 9 & May 16) are finals, so will have slower progress on
new items, then will transition to summer time (full-time) hours for the
team.
* Fixed an issue with the ABI tests failing (runners were low on disk
space).
* Working to bring the Broadcom NICs back online for DTS functional /
performance testing, on the new hardware.  OSed is installed, working to
get DTS installed and running properly.
* Unit testing on Alpine Linux is fixed (22.03 has the fixes), need to
close: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=756 Need to get this enabled
to report upstream to patchworks.
* Windows unit testing should be coming online as soon as possible, as
upstream / mainline DPDK now supports running the tests. Unit testing needs
to be excluded from LTS testing for now (i.e. older DPDK branches will not
run).
* Windows compile runs have seen a couple of random failures, where the
process seems to end / exit before the actual meson compile starts (log
just ends).

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Lab

* Updating the test beds for the 22.07 release.  Found an issue with
compiling the latest, for Ubuntu 22.04, because of libssl-dev errors.
That’s been disabled for the time being. This needs to be reported up to
the dpdk bugzillia.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Github Actions / OBS

* Redhat needs to plan for an upgrade of the zero-day robot, which will
create a little down-time / gap in the testing.  Aaron will send out
notices before the actual work begins.
* Github actions infrastructure had an outage, caused by changes on their
(Github) systems.  Aaron and team had deployed a work around, but they
would like to “roll back” to the “correct” code.  They’ll leave some of the
work around code in place (future protections).
* Planning to drop Travis CI from the main branch configurations, as it’s
no longer being well maintained / used at this time.
* Probably going to drop efforts on OBS, and focus on working through the
Github Actions infrastructure, as they are having success adding different
containers / OSes through this setup.

=====================================================================
Test Development

* DTS WG Meeting Minutes:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1E2mkTHNQ5vyln1JvnJTil15cjacUTXP7LXb9K960Vxs/edit
* Still working on creating / reviewing the first patch series to submit to
the dpdk main repos.
* Some recent patches to DTS are still submitting test case code that
modifies the DPDK main source.  The teams all previously agreed this
approach should not be used and work is already started to “undo” past
tests that used this approach.

=====================================================================
Any other business

* Next Meeting: May 26, 2022
* Plans for the DPDK User Space Summit in September?  Aiming to have a good
CI “presence” during the event.

I reproduced a compilation issue in Ubuntu 22.04 (using GHA + 22.04 container).
I did not see a new bugzilla so it might be a different problem than
what Intel people noticed.

In any case, the proposed patch on the ml I mentionned
(https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20220510150635.61975-1-heinrich.schuchardt@canonical.com/)
fixes the issue I saw.
