GENERAL Patchwork - Quite a few patches built up related to DPDK datapath in patchwork. - Request for more participation in reviews. Testing - As discussed previously, sharing test cases can help identify any testing gaps. - Christian (Red Hat) shared a high level list of tests - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18wp5S3N_sYuQb0nxTtfo5MIjRjYwBt8N61Y48tALPQ4/edit?usp=sharing - Request for others to do likewise. DPDK 17.05 - Previously discussed moving from DPDK LTS to a newer release. - Trade-off between having LTS support and adding new features. - Ian shared a list of features that would be available if using newer DPDK. I think he mentioned sending an RFC to the mailing list. Bug tracker - After upstream discussion, Ian proposed trialing the github bug tracker for OVS DPDK datapath related bugs up until OVS 2.8. - No objections. HWOL - Simon gave summary of hardware offload for the kernel datapath. - Michael discussed that using DPDK rte_flow api for enabling hardware offload in DPDK datapath was of interest. - Suggestion is that using as much common code as possible will be best for upstream. PERFORMANCE/FEATURES Briefly mention of some new feature patches/rfc's in case people missed them. PATCH: Tx intermediate queuing RFC: Multi-seg mbufs (Dependency for future TSO enablement) RFC: Rxq scheduling RFC: IPsec RFC: Keep-alive _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/ovs-dev
