UNH-IOL Community Lab

* Fedora 44 unit testing is rolling out for DPDK mainline and 25.11,
we just need to finish updating our arm64 VM runners, which should be
done in the next day or so.
** There are backports needed for the 23.11 and 24.11 LTS releases, it
is currently disabled for those branches.
* FreeBSD 14.0 unit testing has been rolled out, now that these are fixed.
* We applied some fine tuning, core pinning on the Intel 40G NIC,
aiming to better even out the performance testing.
* Continuing to work on migration to the “new DTS” for all performance testing.
* DTS code coverage report planning
** DTS test coverage reporting should go into the 26.07 release, v1
patch submitted.
** Should we track coverage “per NIC / PMD” or just for “DTS (i.e.
combining coverage reports across DTS)”?

Loongson Lab
----------------------------------------------------------------
 From Gaojuxin on May 6, 2026
I've investigated and resolved the issues with the loongson CI lab.
The main problems were:
 1. DNS resolution failure - The loongson machine couldn't resolve
external domains (patches.dpdk.org), which prevented the CI from
fetching test tasks. This has been fixed.
 2. GitHub connectivity - Connection to github.com was intermittent.
I've configured git to use a proxy permanently.
 After the fixes, I've re-run all the previously failed series (37863,
37871, 37874, 37875, 37884, 37902, 37904, 37912, 37913, 37914, 37921)
and submitted the test results.
Regarding the "unknown failures" reported - these are expected on
LoongArch architecture. 36 test cases fail due to
architecture-specific limitations (such as eal_flags_*, mbuf_autotest,
timer_autotest, etc.), which are not actual CI
 issues but rather unsupported features on LoongArch.
The CI lab is now operational and running normally.

DTS Improvements & Test Development
====================================
* The team has submitted v1 or v2 patches for all the DTS 26.07 roadmap.
* Luca is out on paternity leave.
* Patrick has done some initial reviews, we need to follow up to make
sure we’re on track for the release.

Any other business
====================================
* Next Meeting: June 11, 2026, 10am EDT
