Update the test status for Intel part. DPDK19.11.12-rc1 test rate is 60%, totally find four defects as below:

Hi Christian,


Bug1: [dpdk-19.11.12] metering_and_policing/ipv4_HASH_table_RFC2698: unable to forward packets normally. Intel Dev is investigating.

         First test with 4ports, also can reproduce with 19.11, confirmed with Dev -- not fixed yet, but also not too bad (or not a regression to the former state) and thereby does not block 19.11.12

Bug2: [LTS DPDK-19.11.12-rc1] cryptodev_qat_asym_autotest is failing. Intel Dev is investigating. Bad commit: commit d2b406a1da4f4cbc1f6a1b1940659819e2ae2d34

         Confirmed with Dev, need revert the commit which is sent for 21.xx fix but not for 19.11 LTS, and validation team test passed after revert the commit.

Bug3: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978 [dpdk-19.11.12-rc1] drivers/net/qede make build failed on Fedora35 with Clang13.0.0.( may dup: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=912)

       Bad commit from Vanshika Shukla <vanshika.shukla at nxp.com<mailto:vanshika.shukla at nxp.com>>, no fix yet.

Bug4: https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977 [dpdk-19.11.12-rc1] bnxt_stats meson&&make build Error on Fedora35-64 and Ubuntu2110-64 with gcc11.2.1&&gcc11.2.0.  -->Fixed by latest LTS19.11

Thank you for all your work!

Bug1:[dpdk-19.11.12] metering_and_policing/ipv4_HASH_table_RFC2698: unable to forward packets normally. Intel Dev is investigating.
Bug2:[LTS DPDK-19.11.12-rc1] cryptodev_qat_asym_autotest is failing. Intel Dev is investigating.

Both are very interesting, could you make sure that by next Wednesday (6th of April) there is feedback on this thread if this is either:

Hi Jiang YuX,
by now everything else is in place to tag the 19.11.12 release tomorrow,
therefore I wanted to ping for these updates so that we can make the right decision to release or delay.

1. fixable, with a pointer to a fix
2. not fixed yet, but also not too bad (or not a regression to the former state) and thereby does not block 19.11.12
3. not fixed yet, but being very severe blocking 19.11.12, but identified the offending commit that shall be reverted
4. not fixed yet, but being very severe blocking 19.11.12, and an ETA of a fix/mitigation

Based on that outcome we then need to decide if we need to tag -rc2 and another round of verifications.

Bug3:https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=978 [dpdk-19.11.12-rc1] drivers/net/qede make build failed on Fedora35 with Clang13.0.0.
> Bad commit from Vanshika Shukla <vanshika.shukla at nxp.com<mailto:vanshika.shukla at nxp.com>>, no fix yet.

Thanks for identifying this one.
As in the past, we are willing to take build time fixes for newer compiler stacks, but we are not blocked on releasing 19.11.12 unless platforms formerly building and using it are affected.

Bug4:https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=977 [dpdk-19.11.12-rc1] bnxt_stats meson&&make build Error on Fedora35-64 and Ubuntu2110-64 with gcc11.2.1&&gcc11.2.0.
> Has fix (https://github.com/cpaelzer/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/f17a5eb33a2fec2f33476743f56d1fb2d37ca3b7.patch) and verify passed.

Yes thanks, this one is indeed already applied
