[Starlingx-discuss] OVS-DPDK Upgrade Testing

[Khalil, Ghada]

Hi Shuicheng,
We discussed this in the networking bi-weekly team meeting today.

Please re-enable the mlx pmd – re-apply the following patch:
https://github.com/openstack/stx-integ/blob/master/networking/openvswitch/centos/meta_patches/0005-enable-mlx-pmds.patch

Then please rebase to the latest master and build a new load for Ada’s team to start testing

Hi Elio,
One a new build is available, please start testing as per our previous plans. You need to run a networking regression on various NICs – including the mellanox. Testing was planned for about two weeks with the target for the code to merge after testing is complete by April 5. Please provide regular updates.

Please also verify if you see the 3 bugs that Chenjie reports below (please test on both a cengn load as well as the load with the ovs-dpdk upgrade).  Please note that none of these issues are reproducible in WR labs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/starlingx/+bug/1820378

Thanks,
Ghada

Hi Shuicheng,
There is still testing planned by Ada’s team before merging the code related to networking regression. This will cover the mellanox NIC as well.

Can you confirm that the load being used has the mellanox pmd enabled in it?

Thanks,
Ghada

Thanks Chenjie for the testing.

Hi all,
Does it mean greenlight for code merge, or any other test is needed?
Here is the patch list:
