Highlights ---------- * Need to finalize the 21.02 release date on the mail list. * pmdinfogen will be switched to python implementation, CI / testing infrastructures should prepare themselves for the 'pyelftools' dependency. The patchset to verify the infrastructure in advance: * https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=13153 -rc1 status ----------- * No testing result received yet. * Two build errors detected, virtio for Arm and mingw cross build. Subtrees -------- * main * There are built errors with -rc1 * Arm virtio build error, asked for help * Mingw cross builds, with older versions of compiler * Build related updates can continue for -rc2 * Applied changes were mostly for Arm * New build options can be added * pmdinfogen python rewrite not merged for -rc1, but planned for -rc2 * This may break the CI / test infrastructures because of 'pyelftools' dependency * This has been called out many times, will merge at this point * Intel power management series * Partially merged, ethdev & eal part merged, power library part is remaining * power library get a new version * Thomas has concern about the power library design, it looks like designed for a specific case and not generic * Currently there is not better suggestion, will proceed if no there is no objection * Header check patchset merged partially * ABI checks, some exceptions added * Exceptions should be reviewed carefully * We lost Travis automated ABI checks * There is github actions checks but it is not sending reports back to patchwork * There is a work going on for reporting * Authors either check ABI themselves or explicitly check the github actions test results for it * Can check automated test from: https://github.com/ovsrobot/dpdk/actions * Is ring library refactoring work stalled? Arm will check. * https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=14405 * next-net * Following ehtdev patches not able to make the -rc1 and postponed to next release: * ethdev: introduce representor type * last version sent late for -rc1 * add apistats function * Not clear if this is right approach, more comments required * Also there are some ethdev patches from previous releases, they need to be cleaned up, most probably will be done in next release. * For -rc2, there are * octeon_tx endpoint driver * ionic set * various driver and testpmd fixes * patchsets that first version sent after -rc1 will get less priority * next-crypto * There is new compressdev PMD for the -rc2 * Also an ABI break discussion is going on * next-eventdev * no update * next-virtio * The big refactor set work is going on * Plan is to merge it for -rc2 if it is ready * Intel vhost example review is going on, planned for -rc2 * There are some concerns on Alibaba's PIO mapping patch * Not able to test but there is potential issues * Struct packing series has less priority against the refactoring sets, and can wait the refactoring sets to be merged first. * next-net-mlx * -rc1 looks OK * A couple of patches already merged for the -rc2 * A few more is expected * next-net-brcm * A few fixes in the backlog * next-net-intel * Progressing * next-net-mrvl * mvpp2 is expected for the -rc2 LTS --- * v18.11.11 is released * http://inbox.dpdk.org/dev/20210120155818.388598-1-ktraynor@redhat.com * This is the last release of the 18.11 LTS, thanks to all contributors * v19.11.7 * Luca will start working on patches * v20.11.x * Kevin will step down from the 20.11 LTS maintainership, volunteers are welcome.
