13:59:21 <mackonstan> #topic Agenda bashing
13:59:31 <tifrank> #info Tibor Frank
14:01:28 <vrpolak> #info Vratko Polak.
14:03:25 <mackonstan> #topic VPP inputs
14:03:53 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - vpp v23.10 is a thing, will prepare rls schedule, should be ready by next week
14:04:26 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - yday vpp-dev call discussions
14:06:02 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - no single reference for standard mtu definition incl. jumbo mtu, there is 'max frame size' and there is 'mtu'
14:06:25 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - use 'show hardware interface' to see max frame size
14:07:13 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - what about virtual interfaces - it depends if chained buffers are supported or not - need to contact maintainers for details
14:09:04 <mackonstan> #info Andrew - commenting on Vratko's vpp API msgs versioning email on vpp-dev, csit-dev - Andrew working with Vratko to update msg status
14:09:59 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - re mtu/mfs - have some more insight into where things are in VPP, need to work through code and maintainers to work it all out
14:11:36 <mackonstan> #info Vratko - Damjan confirmed af_xdp will never work with jumbo as it doesn't support chained buffer; avf does not work with jumbo today due to the way CSIT initializes it
14:12:49 <mackonstan> #info Vratko + Maciek - let's work through the latest information, and aim to provide a consistent documentation of current behaviour of VPP and CSIT, and use that as a reference to work with the community on any plan to address mtu/mfs larger then 1500/1518
14:13:28 <mackonstan> #topic TSC
14:14:29 <mackonstan> #info Dave - re new equipment - no update on 4 SPR ETA, waiting for LFN finance to approve ICX-Ds, waiting for Vexxhost quote for Ampere servers to replace 1n-tx2
14:16:30 <mackonstan> #topic Tests - HW accelerators
14:17:06 <mackonstan> #info Peter - reported over email issues with QAT2.0, DSA, GTPU/e810 - see email to Kai, Yulong, Dave, Maciek
14:17:57 <mackonstan> #info QAT2.0: AT Driver installed and is not working on 3nb-spr, 2n-spr, 3n-snr; Driver failed to install on 3na-spr which results into Ubuntu 22.04 not booting; QAT cannot be initialized within the test.
14:18:35 <mackonstan> #info DSA: DSA driver was installed on all capable servers (via Ansible); Changed "intel_iommu=on" to "intel_iommu=on,sm_on" in kernel command line (via Ansible); CSIT lab do not have BIOS option “Opt-Out Illegal MSI Mitigation=Enabled”. We waited for SuperMicro vendor to release BIOS 1.1. Due to release, the upgrade was rescheduled, currently no ETA. BIOS is released.
14:19:33 <mackonstan> #info GTPU: Failed to enable GTPU; Not clear what needs to be done CSIT side; Intel to check what might be the root cause behind VPP call.
14:25:15 <mackonstan> #info Kai - will lead the resolution of all above from the Intel side, will connect with usual Intel contacts to have them addressed, will report back.
14:29:32 <mackonstan> #topic Previous Release CSIT-2306
