Hi,
I was trying to reproduce this test failure, but for me RED tests are passing.
I was running the exact test command like the one described in Bug 826 -
'red_autotest' on the current main branch.
Here is an example when DPDK is build without RTE_SCHED_CMAN enabled, but with
this flag set to true tests are also not failing.
root@silpixa00400629:~/wojtek/dpdk/build/app/test# ./dpdk-test '-l 0-15'
--file-prefix=red_autotest
EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 96
EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 2
EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK
EAL: Multi-process socket /var/run/dpdk/red_autotest/mp_socket
EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'VA'
EAL: VFIO support initialized
TELEMETRY: No legacy callbacks, legacy socket not created
APP: HPET is not enabled, using TSC as default timer

Wojciech, Megha,
Are you able to take a look at why is the RED autotest failing, please?
Thanks,
