<div dir="ltr">Thanks Bruce. We will apply the series and try a fast tests run on our freebsd14 VM. And if all goes well provide a tested by tag and wait for this to hit mainline so unit tests in CI can turn back on. :)</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Mar 19, 2026 at 1:13 PM Bruce Richardson <<a href="mailto:bruce.richardson@intel.com">bruce.richardson@intel.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Bugzilla ID: 761<br>

The standard "fast-tests" suite is used to sanity-check large parts<br>
of the DPDK codebase, but it failed to run successfully on FreeBSD,<br>
with large numbers of failures. This is a long-standing issue reported<br>
in Bugzilla back in 2021 (hence the 3-digit BZ ID)<br>
<br>
This set attempts to rectify this situation by allowing the suite<br>
to run without errors. Mostly it does this by disabling test suites<br>
that rely on features like multi-process which are unsupported on<br>
FreeBSD. It also fixes the test_debug suite which should run on<br>
BSD but was failing.<br>
<br>
After this set, a run on my FreeBSD system passes with zero failures<br>
and 22 tests reported as skipped.<br>
