Yes, the plan would be ideally to move to DPDK 18.11. > If it is then is there anybody already working on that? Yes, the dpdk_latest branch was setup for this purpose. There are patches submitted to move OVS to use DPDK 18.08 first. From there a new set of patches will be created to move to DPDK 18.11. Once there is agreement and sign off from the OVS DPDK community we would look to apply those to the OVS master branch in time for the OVS 2.11 release. > > I'm asking these questions since I've nailed the reason for getting OvS > crashes on Marvell Armada 8K board.

OVS is moving towards using DPDK LTS releases only for OVS releases and the master branch. If the patches target DPDK then they could be backported to the relevant DPDK LTS releases. Once in place there you could also backport support to OVS 2.9 and OVS 2.10 which use DPDK 17.11. > Since I prefer the latter I would like to join somebody > doing this update (I don't feel comfortable enough with OvS to do that on > my own). Ok sure, there is not a patch to make DPDK use 18.11 yet. That's in progress. I've cc'd Ophir who has been looking at this to date. Once there is a patch for 18.11 if you could test it with the Marvell device that would be great help.
