We ran the following tests on Mellanox hardware for this version: - Basic functionality: Send and receive multiple types of traffic. - testpmd xstats counter tests. - testpmd timestamp tests. - Changing/checking link status through testpmd. - RTE flow and flow_director tests: Items: eth / vlan / ipv4 / ipv6 / tcp / udp / gre Actions: drop / queue / rss / mark / flag - Some RSS tests. - VLAN stripping and insertion tests. - Checksum and TSO tests. - ptype tests. - l3fwd-power example application tests. - Multi-process example applications tests. Testing matrix: - NIC: ConnectX-4 Lx / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.0-2.1.8.0 / Firmware: 14.27.1016 - NIC: ConnectX-5 / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.0-2.1.8.0 / Firmware: 16.27.2008 We found 2 issues: - Failure to restart ports with kernels newer than 5.6 (call to mmap failed on UAR for txq). - Applications fail to start with CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_MLX5_DEBUG enabled (mlx5_ifindex: Assertion `priv->if_index' failed). We are discussing these issues internally, and we see no other regressions blocking the release. Regards, Ali
