Hello,

We ran the following functional tests with Nvidia hardware on v23.11.4-rc4:
- Basic functionality:
   Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- rte_flow tests
(https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html#supported-hardware-offloads)
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering, stripping, and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- link_status_interrupt example application tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.
- Hardware LRO tests.
- Buffer Split tests.
- Tx scheduling tests.

Functional tests ran on:
- NIC: ConnectX-6 Dx / OS: Ubuntu 22.04 / Driver:
MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.10-2.1.8.0 / Firmware: 22.43.2566
- DPU: BlueField-2 / DOCA SW version: 2.10.0 / Firmware: 24.44.1036

We saw functional test failures caused by environment changes, but
didn't find issues caused by changes in this release candidate.

Additionally, we ran build tests with multiple configurations on the
following OS/driver combinations:
- Ubuntu 22.04 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.10-2.1.8.0.
- Ubuntu 24.04 with MLNX_OFED_LINUX-24.10-2.1.8.0.
- Ubuntu 22.04 with rdma-core master (324c42e).
- Ubuntu 24.04 with rdma-core v50.0.
- Fedora 41 with rdma-core v51.0.
- Fedora 43 (Rawhide) with rdma-core v56.0.
- OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 with rdma-core v49.1.
- Windows Server 2022 with Clang 16.0.6.

All build tests passed except for gcc 15.0.1 on Fedora 43, which failed
with:

lib/ethdev/rte_flow.h:886:36: error: initializer-string for array of
'unsigned char' is too long [-Werror=unterminated-string-initialization]

Thanks,
Ali
