All other NICs should be reporting up. * Mellanox systems updated to the latest versions of TRex (bug above didn’t impact that system), other systems were rolled back to known working versions. * Mellanox pass/fail criteria updated to 1.5%, per their request. * TRex and a couple of DTS bugs (divide by zero was reintroduced) will need to be patched, before upgrades can proceed. * FreeBSD 13.0 * Fix for 1 of the two unit test issues has been submitted: http://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20210917150917.90892-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com/ * ABI failure 20.11 * Need to investigate / confirm ABI failure for https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/tarballs/16879/ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Lab * pf_smoke / test_pf_rss test case has been disabled, while waiting for a fix to be merged into the mainline. Fixed has been merged into next-net, and should be in mainline by the end of the week. Need to make sure we notify the Intel lab team to re-enable the test. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions & OBS * OBS working on the final revisions for the patch. * Github Actions and zero-day bot is currently down. Server hosting the service had a hardware failure (occurred Monday). Should be restored by next week. The team has backups of the VM running the jobs. ========================================================================== Test Development * Finished categorizing the feedback DTS. Creating an Excel (Google Sheet) issue tracker, so developers can be assigned, this may then be ported into Bugzilla * Next DTS Meeting: TBD ========================================================================== Any other business * Next Meeting: October 7, 2021 -- *Lincoln Lavoie* Principal Engineer, Broadband Technologies 21 Madbury Rd., Ste. 100, Durham, NH 03824 lylavoie@iol.unh.edu https://www.iol.unh.edu +1-603-674-2755 (m)
