See separate email thread on this 15:09:54 <dwallacelf> #info Dave Wallace 15:11:29 <mackonstan> #info 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. 15:12:53 <mackonstan> #info Kai - plan is to modify the test cases - Kai's Intel team will do the work with Peter's guidance. 15:13:12 <mackonstan> #topic HW accelerator - SNR QAT2.0 15:13:29 <mackonstan> #info 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. 15:14:03 <vrpolak> #info 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. 15:14:49 <mackonstan> #info 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. 15:15:03 <mackonstan> #topic HW accelerator - SPR DSA 15:15:21 <mackonstan> #info 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. 15:15:32 <mackonstan> #info Kai - good news and bad news. 15:17:28 <mackonstan> #info Kai - bad news - need to upgrade to kernel 5.18+ - bigger effort. 15:18:28 <mackonstan> #info - 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. 15:19:47 <mackonstan> #info 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. 15:21:13 <mackonstan> #topic Physical Infrastructure - 1n-alt onboarding 15:21:25 <mackonstan> #info Dave asking about status, as no info was coming from Juraj 15:21:51 <mackonstan> #info Peter confirmed that coordination is already ongoing with Vexxhost for installation and bringing both 1n-alt rigs online 15:22:00 <mackonstan> #info Peter - should be up by eow 15:22:14 <mackonstan> #info Peter working with Juraj to make it work 15:23:15 <mackonstan> #info Dave - will push a patch ci-mgmt for disabling 1n-tx2 15:24:42 <mackonstan> #info Dave - in the background Naveen is to work in debugging 1n-spr vpp_device jobs that are still not voting due to reliability issues 15:25:26 <mackonstan> #info Peter - 1n-spr vpp_device jobs are now more stable, more in the greenish zone, but not fully out of the woods yet 15:25:47 <mackonstan> #topic CSIT-2402 release 15:28:16 <mackonstan> #info Tibor - ready for release 15:30:50 <mackonstan> #info great improvement - 40-50% execution time reduction 15:31:00 <mackonstan> #link https://csit.fd.io/stats/#eNrLyk-yTS7OLNEtKyjQLUgtStPNSykqSCnSLU9Nzc6p1M1NLC5JLdI1ytPNTK4AAIoqEPU 15:31:15 <mackonstan> #link yTS7OLNEtKyjQLUgtStPNSykqSCnSLU9Nzc6p1M1NLC5JLdI1ytNNzqkAAIoqEPg 15:31:25 <mackonstan> #link https://csit.fd.io/stats/#eNrLyk-yTS7OLNEtKyjQLUgtStPNSykqSCnSLU9Nzc6p1M1NLC5JLdI1ytNNzqkAAIoqEPg 15:31:40 <mackonstan> #link https://csit.fd.io/stats/#eNrLyk-yTS7OLNEtKyjQLUgtStPNLSrSTUnMzKnUzU0sLkkt0jXK0y0uKAIARFMPTw 15:34:33 <mackonstan> #info Vratko Maciek Dave discuss how to share the value of MLRsearch for volume continuous execution of RFC2544-like benchmarking tests with wider community 15:35:32 <mackonstan> #topic Environment, Framework 15:35:51 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - for next week need to update the api crc values we are using 15:37:25 <mackonstan> #info Dave - new ubuntu 24.04 coming out in April. started preliminary work to start planning the staging work to happen ... 15:38:50 <mackonstan> #topic Trending and Test Failures 15:38:57 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - wiki pages not updated 15:39:19 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - dashboard trending pages error rate hasn't changed for a while 15:40:11 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - srv6 failures, duplicate root cause - see jira ticket 15:41:08 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - CSIT-1945 https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1945 Some srv6 9000B tests crash VPP 15:41:21 <mackonstan> #link https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1945 15:41:58 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - another new ticket CSIT-1946 ipsec hwasync fails with large scale and multiple queues 15:42:07 <mackonstan> #link https://jira.fd.io/browse/CSIT-1946 15:42:19 <mackonstan> #topic Fd.io Events 15:43:20 <mackonstan> #info Dave - f2f meeting - open source summit and lfn ddtf - 29apr-3may 15:43:32 <mackonstan> #info Dave - see TSC wiki pages for event details 15:44:06 <mackonstan> #link https://wiki.fd.io/view/TSC 15:44:56 <mackonstan> #info Maciek - can't make meeting next week, Tibor kindly agreed to lead the csit call 15:44:59 <mackonstan> #endmeeting
