Andre Muezerie ##################################################################### Minutes ===================================================================== General Announcements * Aaron raised patch volume and public lab test capacity at tech board yesterday, and this will be a discussion item at the next tech board meeting on 02/05 * CI testing should not be a replacement for developers testing their code before submission to the mailing list. When people submit patches in high volume with minimal testing, it can create a testing queue which worsens the experience for everyone. * For the linux kernel project, developers are “rate limited” to 1 patchseries per 24 hours * If your patch causes a build failure, you should not resubmit for some longer period (maybe a week) * There may be some opportunities to make developer testing easier * For instance, it may be possible to add a GHA cross compile to arm64 which would allow developers to fork the repo, get cross compile tests for their patches * Andre has started working on DPDK at Microsoft and has joined the meeting to get to know the CI processes * Patrick should check which build toolchains are in use (should be all 3 supported for windows) and email this to andre afterwards. ===================================================================== CI Status --------------------------------------------------------------------- UNH-IOL Community Lab * The new ARM Grace-Grace server has shipped, patrick has the tracking #, and it is expected to be delivered to UNH tomorrow January 24. * NICs will be moved over to the Grace server according to the migration plan which was shared out to the governing board and tech board last year * David helped add the “next-dts-for-main” branch to github, which mirrors the next-dts branch from <a href="http://dpdk.org">dpdk.org</a>. * Still require a review and merge from Aaron for <a href="https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/ci/patch/20250116221112.19794-1-ccheng@iol.unh.edu/">https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/ci/patch/20250116221112.19794-1-ccheng@iol.unh.edu/</a> which simply adds a mapping for this branch in the CI patch apply script * New DTS in CI testing: * Patrick is adding configs for additional NICs - aiming to turn this on early next week. Most likely to start with a few testsuites and then scale up from there. * Dashboard search feature has been added, allowing users to search for test results by patchwork series id OR by patch name keywords * <a href="https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/">https://lab.dpdk.org/results/dashboard/</a> * Patrick to check with Adam about the depends-on series for the patchwork project * Latest we heard was that there were no additional comments from the maintainer and that it was expected to be merged in the current patchwork release cycle * Cody is adding a cross compile job for x86 32 bit --------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel Lab * None --------------------------------------------------------------------- Github Actions * Aaron has resurrected the Cirrus CI support patch - addressing some comments and will submit a new patchseries version tomorrow or next week. * Zero day bot will connect with Cirrus server, which supports freebsd and windows --------------------------------------------------------------------- Loongarch Lab * None ===================================================================== DTS Improvements & Test Development * Refactor configuration series: <a href="https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=34355">https://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=34355</a> * Reviewed by Dean * Nick is reviewing now and will have all comments in by EOD * Patrick left a few comments for the MTU testsuite, which Nick has indicated he will incorporate into a v2 and submit by EOD * Should be possible to merge this “immediately” as the comments were minimal, and Patrick has tested the V1 across multiple NICs ===================================================================== Any other business * Next Meeting Feb 6, 2025</div>
