[Starlingx-discuss] QAT driver upgrade

[Khalil, Ghada]

Hi Shuicheng,
The version used in StarlingX is from July 2017 which is pretty old, so my inclination is to suggest we upgrade to the latest. We need input/approval from the TLs (Brent & Saul). Let's discuss with them in the distro.other meeting tomorrow. I put this item on the agenda.

I've asked Numan to send out the test-cases.

Thanks,
Ghada

Subject: QAT driver upugrade

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
