All,

The ABI references for all systems were updated this week to the 21.05 release code.  The two failures look like places where the interfaces didn't actually change. We do see the failures across multiple patches, which might imply something got merged that caused these changes / failures.

OpenSUSE
2 Removed function symbols not referenced by debug info:

  [D] _fini
  [D] _init

Arch Linux (one example from the output)

Functions changes summary: 0 Removed, 0 Changed, 0 Added function
Variables changes summary: 0 Removed, 1 Changed (13 filtered out), 0 Added variables

1 Changed variable:

    type of variable changed:
      type size hasn't changed
      1 data member change:
        type of 'rte_table_op_lookup f_lookup' changed:
          underlying type 'int (void*, rte_mbuf**, typedef uint64_t, uint64_t*, void**)*' changed:
            in pointed to type 'function type int (void*, rte_mbuf**, typedef uint64_t, uint64_t*, void**)':
              parameter 2 of type 'rte_mbuf**' has sub-type changes:

                    1 data member changes (1 filtered):

Hello,

Looking at the dashboard, we have ABI checks reporting failures.
Example: https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/patchsets/17309/

I can't debug this, but I suspect that the reference dumps are not
generated the same way the patches are tested.
