I want to report a possible regression from this patch series seen from CI
testing on our Intel 82599ES 10G NIC, which we failed to report to
patchwork when this initially went under CI due to a bug in our Jenkins
reporting scripts. Use of the ixgbe driver appears to be affected. Tyler I
apologize for the issues seen with reporting. We've made some temporary
changes to avoid this happening again, and are currently reworking our
reporting process entirely to provide greater reliability.

Here is a DTS snippet showing the issue, and the full log for the
failing virtio_smoke test can be downloaded here:
https://dpdkdashboard.iol.unh.edu/results/dashboard/patchsets/26560/

We initially took this Intel10G testing offline to investigate as we
thought it was a lab infra failure. Obviously that wasn't the case, so
ideally we will bring this back online when appropriate. But, I don't want
to do so right now and start failing everyone's patchseries which are
obviously unrelated to this. Comments on this are welcome, otherwise of
course I will just return this test coverage to our CI when the state of
the git tree allows for it.

Apologies for the missing report and the timeline on this. We are taking
action to deliver results more reliably going forward.

&gt; I am not really enthousiastic about those NOTE:.<br>
&gt; I would prefer we get an explicit go/nogo from each maintainers, but<b=
r>
&gt; this did not happen.<br>
&gt; I think that this indicates that those NOTE: will rot in the code now.=
<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Thomas proposed to track those NOTE: in the release announce mail and<=
br>
&gt; that we ping maintainers regularly.<br>
&gt; Let&#39;s see how it goes.<br>
<br>
Let&#39;s leave it for one release cycle, if with the the announce mail<br>
maintainers take no action within that time I&#39;ll commit to going<br>
through and cleaning them out before 23.11 rc1.<br>
<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; I am merging this series so we can progress on the $SUBJECT.<br>
&gt; Series applied, thanks.<br>
<br>
Thanks David, this will allow forward progress.<br>
<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Tyler, about the patch on the ring library that was dropped by got no<=
br>
&gt; viable alternative, I&#39;ll wait for a decision from ARM and you.<br>
<br>
I&#39;ll wait for Honnappa to follow up and we&#39;ll decide what to do whe=
n he<br>
does.<br>
