Thanks Cian.

Hi Thilak,

This runs the OVS DPDK and system userspace unit tests on a machine in the 
Intel lab with OVS configured to use AVX-512 instructions in the DPCLS, DPIF 
and MFEX.

This testing was setup as not every devloper submitting patches to OVS has 
access to architecture which can run Intel AVX-512 instructions which could 
lead to patches being submitted which break AVX-512 functionality inside OVS.

The goal is to test new patches submitted to the Mailing list on the AVX-512 
system and provide a log file in an email to the author should something go 
wrong to allow for debugging/fixes. Unfortunately because it is running Intel 
specific instructions there is no way for you to replicate the test environment 
without having access to a machine which can run these instructions.

I gave a lightning talk on the process at the OVS conference in December which 
can be found here:

 if you want some more information.

I hope this gives you an insight into what is happening here and I'm happy to 
answer anymore questions you might have.

Kind regards,
Michael.

Subject: [ovs-discuss] intel-ovs-compilation

Hi All,
I wanted to submit a patch and noticed that it failed at the stage 
intel-ovs-compilation.
[ovs-build] |fail| pw1613214 [ovs-dev, v2] netdev:clear out vlan flow fields 
while processing native tunnel 
(openvswitch.org)<https://mail.openvswitch.org/pipermail/ovs-build/2022-April/021102.html>

I had added a test case to cover the changes I did and was able to verify that 
my test passing for
make check-system-userspace TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k datapath'
make check-kernel TESTSUITEFLAGS='-k datapath'

Below is the link to the patch
[ovs-dev,v2] netdev:clear out vlan flow fields while processing native tunnel - 
Patchwork 
(ozlabs.org)<https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/openvswitch/patch/[email protected]/>

Can someone please let me know how to run this failing test for me to 
understand why it is failing?

Thanks
Thilak Raj S
