Minutes

CI Status

• Intel CI system updates

• Need to invite the Intel CI team to the call

• qian.q.xu@intel.com

• john.mcnamara@intel.com 

• Travis CI

• No updates

• Community Lab

• SPDK Build Failures

• All 5 systems running SPDK compile testing fully functional.

• SPDK Additional Unit Testing

• Currently running on the Fedora VM in testing environment

• Will be on by this Friday (probably sooner), after testing internally

• Move to latest release branch to have more up-to-date commits during testing

• Try it because of features that may make it easier to support

• May need to fall back to LTS release branches if failures are occurring

• Infrastructure Alert

• System put in place to notify the team whenever an infrastructure failure occurs due to reliability issues

• Broadcom Upgrade to include 100Gbe NICs

• https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=489

• Windows mingw-w64 compile testing (Bug-476)

• Looking into setting this up and putting it onto the production dashboard

• Other Build Services

• Cirrus CI

• Update on Redhat interns?

• Expected on the 30th

• OBS

• Status of including package spec files in the main repos?

• Not quite confident that we will do this

• Only real motivation to have this is for OBS

• Next steps

• What’s missing:

• “Jenkins” job to run the pipeline

• Something to monitor the result

• Juraj to provide some of these quite soon(?)

• Maybe submit a pull request to patchwork ci to see where it gets us.

Test Development

• Two systems that are working on getting development set up

• Intel dev system with 2 servers

• Occasionally borrowing Broadcom system from CI

• Basic test cases working, but existing functional tests are not functioning properly

• The tests that are passing are likely to be a false positive.

• Questions

• Is there a way to have TREX run and have a way to expose interfaces (some other way to make Scapy run)

• Example on how to make Scapy run properly

• Going through existing tests located within DTS

• Some tests may be NIC specific; may need to work on scripts to improve coverage

• Need to create a progress report in test development so that everybody in the group knows how much work has been done in the DTS team.

• Brandon to lead recording the progress of the test development team.

Bugzilla Ticket Review

DPDK Community Lab Bug Tracker

• New / Updated: 

• Bug 460 - Broadcom performance testing being setup

• Testing fully functional. Reports being sent to patchworks under iol-broadcom-Performance

• Bug 466 - Mellanox build errors occur randomly:

• Stopping existing TREX processes before starting testing for Mellanox has stopped the failures for quite some time.

Any Other Business

• Emails submitted to patchwork through the mailing list with “warning” label are labeled as such due to failure of a submodule test. E.g.: SPDK build

• Not marked as FAIL because of the lack of failures in the dpdk compile tests.

• Next meeting: June 30, 2020
