We ran the following functional tests with Nvidia hardware on 21.11.4-rc1:
- Basic functionality:
  Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- rte_flow tests.
- Some RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering, stripping and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- link_status_interrupt example application tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.
- Hardware LRO tests.
- Regex application tests.
- Buffer Split tests.
- Tx scheduling tests.

Functional tests ran on:
- NIC: ConnectX-6 Dx / OS: Ubuntu 20.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.9-0.5.6.0 / Firmware: 22.36.1010
- NIC: ConnectX-7 / OS: Ubuntu 20.04 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.9-0.5.6.0 / Firmware: 22.36.1010
- DPU: BlueField-2 / DOCA SW version: 1.5.1 / Firmware: 24.35.2000

Additionally, we ran compilation tests with multiple configurations in the following OS/driver combinations:
- Ubuntu 20.04.5 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.9-0.5.6.0.
- Ubuntu 20.04.5 with rdma-core master (f0a079f).
- Ubuntu 20.04.5 with rdma-core v28.0.
- Ubuntu 18.04.6 with rdma-core v17.1.
- Ubuntu 18.04.6 with rdma-core master (f0a079f) (i386).
- Fedora 37 with rdma-core v41.0.
- Fedora 39 (Rawhide) with rdma-core v44.0.
- CentOS 7 7.9.2009 with rdma-core master (f0a079f).
- CentOS 7 7.9.2009 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.9-0.5.6.0.
- CentOS 8 8.4.2105 with rdma-core master (f0a079f).
- OpenSUSE Leap 15.4 with rdma-core v38.1.
- Windows Server 2019 with Clang 11.0.0.

We don't see new issues caused by the changes in this release.

Please note that not all the functional tests mentioned above fall under "Basic functionality with testpmd" like reported in the release notes for previous releases:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=v21.11.3&id=31608e4db56893c896375288671b5ee38723a211
Some of them test other applications.

Hi. Thanks for testing.

Do you know which patch caaused the regression? I'm not fully clear from 
the Bz for 20.11. The backported patch ID'd as root cause [0] in 20.11 
is in the previous releases of 20.11 (and 21.11).

Trying to understand because then it would have shown in testing for 
previous releases. Or is this a new test introduced for latest LTS 
releases? and if so, what is the baseline performance based on?

Hi, it was mentioned in a separate mail that the performance drop issue 
was not the same as 20.11.

Is there any update on that and the failing virtio tests ? Is there a 
regression introduced since in 21.11.4 ?

thanks,

Ok, thanks for reporting. This commit was also in 23.03 and 20.11.8 so 
not sure if they were tested on this platform?

This commit fixes a functional issue, so I don't think it should be 
removed unless it is critical issue.

There's no update on other performance report. Release is already 1 week 
overdue, is there critical issues that we should hold release for?

thanks,
Kevin.

I'm not fully clear on the status, so let's separate. There were two 
reported issues.

1. Performance drop on specific Intel platform.
- Is this being investigated by Intel dev?
- Is it is a release blocking issue ?

2. Virtio issue caused by

commit c41493361c87e730459ead9311c68528eb0874aa
Author: Boleslav Stankevich <boleslav.stankevich@oktetlabs.ru>
Date:   Fri Mar 3 14:19:29 2023 +0300
        net/virtio: deduce IP length for TSO checksum

- Is this being investigated by Intel dev?
- Is it is a release blocking issue ?

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

I need correct/clarify the description of the two issues:
1, Performance drop on specific Intel platform -> should be pvp_qemu_multi_paths_port_restart:perf_pvp_qemu_vector_rx_mac: Benchmark pvp performance drop about 23.5% when send small packets" 
Its bad commit id: 
commit c41493361c87e730459ead9311c68528eb0874aa
Author: Boleslav Stankevich <boleslav.stankevich@oktetlabs.ru>

    net/virtio: deduce IP length for TSO checksum

    [ upstream commit d069c80a5d8c0a05033932421851cdb7159de0df ]

    The length of TSO payload could not fit into 16 bits provided by the
    IPv4 total length and IPv6 payload length fields. Thus, deduce it
    from the length of the packet.

    Fixes: 696573046e9e ("net/virtio: support TSO")

    Signed-off-by: Boleslav Stankevich <boleslav.stankevich@oktetlabs.ru>
    Reviewed-by: Andrew Rybchenko <andrew.rybchenko@oktetlabs.ru>
    Reviewed-by: Maxime Coquelin <maxime.coquelin@redhat.com> 

Intel validation owner has done lots of verification and compared these performance data on 8280&8380 platforms.
This performance big drop is only found on special platform (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8280M CPU @ 2.70GHz CPU) when vhost-user(back-end) 
and virtio-pmd(front-end) are not on the same socket (front-end is on the socket1, back-end and nic are on the socket0).
But our test case doesn't call this bad commit id's related code, suspect whether it may be related to compiler optimization on special platform. 
We hope the bad commit id owner or other experts can support to analysis the root cause.  

2, Virtio issue -> should be virtio crypto test failure.
It is not a regression issue, old lts and main branch also reproduce by validation owner, and there's no clear bad commit id found. 
Intel dev and validation owner are investigating it, but we don't find out the root cause yet.

Yu Jiang

ok, for this one, it is a performance drop on a single test on a 
specific Intel platform and inter-socket related. It does not appear to 
be related to the commit being ID'd. To revert the commit would 
re-introduce a functional issue.

ok, this is not a regression in 21.11.4.

On that basis, I will go ahead with the 21.11.4 release tomorrow. If 
there's any objection please let me know by end of day today.
