CI Status
-----------------------------------
AWS Lab
* No updates

UNH-IOL Community Lab
* AI Code Review
** Updated to be running on scripts and prompts from the main branch on June 5.
** Reports of always reporting warnings, seems like the
review-patch.py script is already returning an exit code 3.
** UNH staff will review the script to see if there is a logic error
or something else causing it to always report a warning.
* Lab updated / deployed Fedora 44, where this also depended on
upgrades to runners to provide a more recent kernel. Older LTS
releases are still waiting on a backport patch to be able to run on
this latest Fedora version.
** Doing some additional container / infrastructure upgrades for FIPS
and SVE compiles, adding RHEL10, etc.
* Request from AMD to run fast unit tests on AMD CPUs, using both GCC
and Clang. Lab is working on implementing this, since we can just run
the same unit testing containers on AMD based DTS runners.
** These will show up as new environments in the existing unit testing reports.
*  We will also be working to improve some of the header information
provided within the DTS reports to patchworks.  Specifically, adding
CPU information (architecture, models, etc.)
* Lab has continued working on migrating the DTS performance testing
over to the newDTS. This has caught a couple of bugs and nits in the
framework, when running across the different platforms / NICs.
* Minimum kernel testing is being worked on, the VM got taken offline
after the 26.3 release, when the version changed, switching to Debian
12.1.
* DTS Code Coverage
** Should coverage reports be generated per NIC, or as a whole (i.e.
combining multiple NICs), or is running it on one NIC enough?  - Ask
this question via the dev list.
** This deployment will depend on the patches being merged in the 26.07 release.

Intel Lab
* No updates

Github Actions
* No updates

Loongson Lab
* DPDK project maintainer requested the reporting be disabled, until
the lab can be checked to generate stable results.
* Lincoln will reach out to the Loongson team, to request they review
the current status again and confirm when things are stable to
re-enable the email reporting.

DTS Improvements & Test Development
-----------------------------------
* The UNH-IOL team has submitted patches / updates as requested.
* There are a couple of bug fixes that the team has also requested be
included in the 26.07 release, as things have been caught migrating
away from oldDTS in the lab.

Any other business
-----------------------------------
* Next Meeting: June 25, 2026, 10am EDT
