CI Status
===============================================

AWS Lab
-----------------------------------------------
No update

UNH-IOL Community Lab
-----------------------------------------------
* AI Code Review Updates
** UNH submitted a patch to adjust the return values from the scripts,
to only issue a warning or failure, pending the outcome of the review:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20260617174402.2123568-1-mgee@iol.unh.edu/
** Patch is still waiting on review / merge
** Updates on the model parameters to set, needs discussion on dev
list, Aaron will lead that and provide feedback to the lab.

* ABI Testing Updates
** All tests should now be using libabigail 2.9 as requested.

* Unit testing container / OS updates
** Ubuntu 26.04 - in progress
** Debian 13 - in progress

* AMD Unit Tests
** There was a bug in the reporting which caused the Intel, AMD Genoa,
and AMD Milan tests to collide in the table
** This has been fixed by disabling automatic environment info updates
for just these two environments, so they keep the AMD Genoa/AMD Milan
tags in the table
** Previous failures were caused by allowing the scheduler to pick the
CPU cores and disabling the PCI bus scanning.
** All tests are running with GCC on Ubuntu.  Clang will also require
turning on Fedora.

* DTS Code Coverage
** Discussed at techboard this week, UNH is working on the pipeline to
bring this online, which will aggregate coverage reports across
multiple NICs.
** Code coverage patch still in fight for 26.07, but on target to be
included in the release.

* Crypto Failure
** All tests are failing, merged in RC2, with a ticket filed in
Bugzilla. Maintainers are aware and requested additional information
today, Andrew is following up.

*UNH will start tracking / reporting the libc versions, but this won’t
deploy until after the 26.07 release, because it requires updates to
the dashboard infrastructure.

Loongson Lab

DTS Improvements & Test Development
