Meeting summary
---------------

* LINK: https://docs.releng.linuxfoundation.org/en/latest/meetbot.html
  (vrpolak, 16:04:34)
* CSIT (Maciek)  (DaveBarach, 16:04:47)
  * CSIT-2009 report published on 15-Oct, see announce email from me
    (mackonstan, 16:05:10)
  * All but AMD and nat44ed test data are there  (mackonstan, 16:06:25)
  * LINK: https://docs.fd.io/csit/rls2009/report/  (mackonstan,
    16:06:34)
  * Ongoing work on: nat44ed cps tunings, gso tests, geneve tests
    (mackonstan, 16:07:06)
  * CSIT-2009 RCA update by Vratko, no big enough regressions (< -5%),
    spent time on some smaller regressions (l2patch, see ticket)
    (mackonstan, 16:08:02)
  * Trending update by Vratko, one regression that's not real
    (introduced by nat44ed tests), side-effect of not trusting TRex when
    it comes to test time measurement ( <1% change)  (mackonstan,
    16:08:55)
  * Vratko, some progressions noticed but not investigated  (mackonstan,
    16:09:35)

* Host Stack (Florin)  (DaveBarach, 16:10:52)
  * various cleanups, to avoid bit-rot  (DaveBarach, 16:11:16)
  * to improve compile time, add {tcp,udp}_packet.h vs. protocol
    implementation headers  (DaveBarach, 16:11:57)
  * per-worker cut-through sessions. Gives much improved cut-through
    session setup performance  (DaveBarach, 16:12:45)
  * host stack no longer supports legacy binary API (shared memory)
    connections. Security measure.  (DaveBarach, 16:13:28)
  * Question: why does dpdk map 128gb of memory?  (DaveBarach, 16:14:04)
  * Damjan talked to Anatoly (dpdk guy) yesterday about that
    (DaveBarach, 16:14:23)
  * dpdk maps a huge chunk, then finds an appropriate boundary
    (DaveBarach, 16:14:57)
  * host stack can trip over the dpdk etc.  (DaveBarach, 16:16:04)
  * vcl improved handling of out-of-order events. Small cleanups / fixes
    in addition.  (DaveBarach, 16:16:55)

    cool-down  (DaveBarach, 16:19:31)
  * Actual release in January, most of a month between RC1 and RC2
    (DaveBarach, 16:19:55)
  * 20.09 one outstanding question: maintenance release 20.09.1
    (DaveBarach, 16:20:54)
  * Any requests for the dot release? Timing?  (DaveBarach, 16:21:12)
  * DaveW suggests that waiting until February would be quite a while
    since the formal release  (DaveBarach, 16:22:08)
  * 19.08 Job removal in January?  (DaveBarach, 16:22:45)
  * Not planning to do another 19.08 point release. Revisit in December.
    (DaveBarach, 16:23:10)
  * Cadence after 21.01: September is tricky due to summer vacation.
    (DaveBarach, 16:24:36)
  * Possibly 21.06 and 21.10.  (DaveBarach, 16:25:17)
  * 22.01, etc.  (DaveBarach, 16:25:41)

  * Centos-7 job will go away in the next release; removing from master
    builds later today  (DaveBarach, 16:30:26)
