======= GENERAL ======= OVS 2.9 Release - Deadline Dates -- Deadline passed for new feature proposals -- Plan to branch for OVS 2.9 on 15th Jan -- Would like to minimize new feature commits into OVS 2.9 branch but some flexibility - Outstanding Features/Patches to be merged -- Discussion on some relevant patches (below in perf/feat) Spectre/Meltdown - Request for people to test with fixes and report any perf regressions Suggestion by Ian to make OVS-DPDK meeting weekly for next few weeks, to use for OVS 2.9 dicsussion prior to the release - Set up for same time, same links weekly for next few weeks - Next one 17th Jan ==================== PERFORMANCE/FEATURES ==================== PMD debug/Time based Tx batching - Didn't discuss these much as Jan and Ilya weren't on call MTU segfault/ Bug fix. -- Ian gave us a "high level" explanation -- https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/342858.html OVS DPDK Unit Tests -- Marcin submitted here https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/342523.html -- Aaron also has some ideas for UT's also Rxq-pmd stats -- Kevin has removed dependencies and simplified -- https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/342999.html Ports sharing PCI id -- To allow devices that have ports sharing a PCI id to be used fully -- Doesn't seem to be any objections to DPDK devargs syntax - next step to write documentation patch for it. -- https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/342865.html ================ HARDWARE OFFLOAD ================ Classification offload - This appears to be almost ready for merging - View is that while this will continue to exist, full offload will eventually be preferred so there needs to be some flexibility to allow changes for full offload later - No objections to proposal that it is EXPERIMENTAL due to above - Sugesh will set up a separate meeting to discuss the design for full offload - https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-dev/2018-January/343056.html On 07/25/2017 02:25 PM, Kevin Traynor wrote: > Hi All, > > The OVS-DPDK public meetings have moved to Wednesday's at the same time. > Everyone is welcome, it's a chance to share status/plans etc. > > It's scheduled for every 2 weeks starting 26th July.
