Hi all, Here is a list of patches targeted for stable release 19.11.8. The planned date for the final release is 16th April. Please help with testing and validation of your use cases and report any issues/results with reply-all to this mail. For the final release the fixes and reported validations will be added to the release notes. Note: This is a special interim release not following the releases of recent mainline (that was 19.11.7). Instead this addresses issues with >=19.11.6 identified and discussed in: http://mails.dpdk.org/archives/stable/2021-March/029418.html Testing-Note: The only changes this release has over the former one are about linking. We switch back to how it was <=19.11.6 since it regressed some use-cases. The most known one at the moment is building OVS 2.13 vs a DPDK that was built with meson. It seems that make-based DPDK builds are unaffected. Due to that this verification phase should not so much be about the usual performance, functionality, ... (I'm happy if you run those, but they are not strictly required). Instead the focus should mostly about buildability via the various possible combinations that exist. A release candidate tarball can be found at: https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?id=v19.11.8-rc1 These patches are located at branch 19.11 of dpdk-stable repo: https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/ Thanks.

I can confirm that with 19.11.8 the build of OpenVswitch vs a meson-built DPDK works again. Tested on OVS 2.13.3 vs DPDK 19.11.8-rc1 in Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10 on all supported architectures (amd64,armhf,arm64 and ppc64el - the others s390x/riscv64 don't have DPDK built). > A release candidate tarball can be found at: > > https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/tag/?id=v19.11.8-rc1 > > These patches are located at branch 19.11 of dpdk-stable repo: > https://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable/ > > Thanks. > > Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com> > > --- > Christian Ehrhardt (7): > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: prevent overlinking""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: improve static linking flags""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: output drivers first for static build""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build/pkg-config: move pkg-config file creation""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "build: always link whole DPDK static libraries""" > Revert "Revert "Revert "devtools: test static linkage with pkg-config""" > Regenerate meson.build changes required due to reverts -- Christian Ehrhardt Staff Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd

Hi Ehrhardt,
Update the dpdk 19.11.8-rc1 test result for Intel part. We tested build and basic cases, no bug was found.

PASS
(3)Guest with device assignment(VF) throughput testing: PASS
(4)PVP (host dpdk testpmd as vswitch) 1Q: throughput testing: PASS
(5)PVP vhost-user 2Q throughput testing: PASS
(6)PVP vhost-user 1Q - cross numa node throughput testing: PASS
(7)Guest with vhost-user 2 queues throughput testing: PASS
(8)vhost-user reconnect with dpdk-client, qemu-server: qemu reconnect: PASS
(9)vhost-user reconnect with dpdk-client, qemu-server: ovs reconnect: PASS
(10)PVP 1Q live migration testing: PASS
(11)PVP 1Q cross numa node live migration testing: PASS
(12)Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 1Q live migration testing: PASS
(13)Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 1Q live migration testing (2M): PASS
(14)Guest with ovs+dpdk+vhost-user 2Q live migration testing: PASS
(15)Host PF + DPDK testing: PASS
