[dpdk-ci] Question about performance test

[Rami Rosen]

Hi,
I have a question about DPDK CI process and the tests done when a patch is
submitted to dpdk-dev mailing list.
In DPDK patch work I see these response messages from the DPDK CI for all
patches:

...
ci/intel-Performance-Testing success Performance Testing PASS
ci/mellanox-Performance-Testing success Performance Testing PASS
...

My question is (I hope and believe the info is available publicly) : which
tests are run in the ci, generating these messages?  is it done with IXIA
and DTS ? (DPDK test suite, https://doc.dpdk.org/dts/gsg/) ? are these
l2fwd/l3fwd performance tests? or more than that ? and on which
Intel/Mellanox nics ?  Are these merely performance tests, or also
functional tests ?

And BTW, I noticed that the CI runs a full performance cycle also for doc
patches (at least these messages are generated), which is a kind of
redundant (unless there is some filter which checks that if a patch only
affects modules under "doc", than such a cycle is not done but the messages
are still sent)

Regards,
Rami Rosen
