CI Status

---------------------------------------------------------------------
AWS Lab
* Test recheck support plans:
* David noticed some failures due to timeout on the telemetry test, other
CIs run with -t 3 (30s timeout, instead of 10):
* Review on apply failure on .rst files discussion from the previous meeting
UNH-IOL Community Lab
* Apply patchset process: Skipping making a tarball if the patch is a docs
patch only.
   * Labeling as “not applicable” on the lab dashboard
* Windows Builds:
   * Clang build is not picking up the devx lib file - Patrick needs to
check if this behavior is new.
   * WARN/FAIL email reporting error for Windows builds has been resolved.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Lab
* None

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Github Actions Robot
* None

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Loongson Lab
* Patchseries recheck support: Min Zhou has tested out the new version of
the get_reruns.py script, and has indicated he will use it to support the
rebase argument.
   * When this happens we need to update the DPDK website testing page to
update the supported labs list

=====================================================================
DTS Improvements & Test Development
* README and dts.rst updates are merged.
* Virtual Function testing:
   * Packet forwarding from DTS created VFs is working (on Intel)
   * Dean is refactoring the existing testsuites to ensure that they will
work for both PFs and VFs
* Performance testing and nic_single_core_perf:
   * Removing the usage of Invoke Promise from the V2.
      * This time, we start the trex server process and collect PID, then
loop on trying to connect to the trex server process with STLClient, then
kill the trex PID at the end
   * Resolving a few other small issues
   * Some minor config updates are needed
      * For instance, we don’t need to be including an app path for func
TGs, only perf TGs
* Rte_flow testing:
   * Same status as before - appears to be running fine but requires
additional review.
      * Tested on Mellanox and Intel
* Remaining func testsuites:
   * Qinq: Needs a review
   * Ethertype: Needs a review but probably moving to 25.11

=====================================================================
Any other business
* Next Meeting Jul 9, 2025
