[dpdk-ci] [dpdklab] What is the reliability of the community lab

[Brandon Lo]

Hi Thomas,

For the ABI check failure, we were working on a few migration-related
changes that caused this issue. We have fixed the underlying cause and
the rolling migration will be completed soon. The test will be rerun
and reported back up to patchworks as well.
We are also in the process of adding more monitoring for failure
results that are not limited to only infrastructure failures, i.e.
failures caused by a test's return value will alert us in a separate
category which will allow us to validate the result.

Thanks,
Brandon
