[Starlingx-discuss] QAT driver upugrade

[Lin, Shuicheng]

Hi Ghada,
Here is the release notes for the latest QAT(1.7.L.4.4.0-00023).
https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads//336211-009qatrelnotes.pdf<https://01.org/sites/default/files/downloads/336211-009qatrelnotes.pdf>
The release notes just list some issue fixed since 1.0.3-42, which is the version StarlingX using currently.

Could you help ask expert from WR to review it, and decide whether we prefer to upgrade it or not?
If we choose to upgrade it, could you help share me the test case for QAT driver?
Thanks.


Best Regards
Shuicheng

Thanks Shuicheng. Is there a need to actually upversion the qat drivers? Are there new features or bug fixes that are of interest to StarlingX?

I suggest you review the release notes and make a decision with the distro.other team leads before proceeding with this item.

Hi Ghada,
QAT driver is not upgraded yet, since there is no build failure with CentOS 7.6.
I will have a check with it after Chinese New Year's holiday, and plan to do the upgrade in master.

Best Regards
Shuicheng
