Meeting summary

  1. Agenda bashing (mackonstan, 15:03:27)
    1. Vratko Polak. (vrpolak, 15:03:38)
    2. Tibor Frank (tifrank, 15:03:51)

  2. VPP update (mackonstan, 15:06:07)
    1. Andrew 1 wk away from rc1 (mackonstan, 15:06:32)

  3. TSC update (mackonstan, 15:06:50)
  4. HW accelerator - SPR QAT2.0 (mackonstan, 15:08:52)
    1. copied notes from last week: Kai - issues reported that QAT stopped working, intel team determined that tests are using the same VF for QAT ingress and QAT egress interfaces. and they should be using a different VF for QAT ingress and a different one for QAT egress interfaces. See separate email thread on this (mackonstan, 15:09:28)
    2. Dave Wallace (dwallacelf, 15:09:54)
    3. Kai - synced up with Peter before the meeting - root cause is that single QAT VF is doing both encrypt and decrypt - conclusion is that the test case is not optimized with the current (latest) QAT HW setup. (mackonstan, 15:11:29)
    4. Kai - plan is to modify the test cases - Kai's Intel team will do the work with Peter's guidance. (mackonstan, 15:12:53)

  5. HW accelerator - SNR QAT2.0 (mackonstan, 15:13:12)
    1. notes from last week: Kai - after processor replacement the tests should be good to run now, as the configuration is the same as in Intel shadow lab. Peter to confirm. (mackonstan, 15:13:29)
    2. On TSC meeting, there was a discussion about using openprofile.dev for tracking meetings (on LF level). But most projects use Google calendars with strong opinions against migrating to anything worse. (vrpolak, 15:14:03)
    3. Kai - base ip4 and ip6 tests are running. for QAT2.0 ipsec async tests will need modified as for SPR QAT - the same team and work arrangement as for SPR QAT. (mackonstan, 15:14:49)

  6. HW accelerator - SPR DSA (mackonstan, 15:15:03)
    1. notes from last week: Kai - existing issue with intel idxd driver - Intel team confirms that to run this driver it requires newer kernel version. current ver. 5.15, required ver. 5.18+. Peter to advise once back from PTO. (mackonstan, 15:15:21)
    2. Kai - good news and bad news. (mackonstan, 15:15:32)
    3. Kai - bad news - need to upgrade to kernel 5.18+ - bigger effort. (mackonstan, 15:17:28)
    4. - good news - some parameters in kernel to disable level-5 paging in intel cpus (using grub command) - may solve the issue with idxd driver. if Peter can give it a try to check if it will work. (mackonstan, 15:18:28)
    5. Peter - will try the grub cmd approach first, if it doesn't work, then the next option will be to upgrade kernel, but may break compatibility. (mackonstan, 15:19:47)

  7. Physical Infrastructure - 1n-alt onboarding (mackonstan, 15:21:13)

    4. Peter working with Juraj to make it work (mackonstan, 15:22:14)
    5. Dave - will push a patch ci-mgmt for disabling 1n-tx2 (mackonstan, 15:23:15)
    6. Dave - in the background Naveen is to work in debugging 1n-spr vpp_device jobs that are still not voting due to reliability issues (mackonstan, 15:24:42)
    7. Peter - 1n-spr vpp_device jobs are now more stable, more in the greenish zone, but not fully out of the woods yet (mackonstan, 15:25:26)
