The following covers the functional tests that we ran on Mellanox hardware for this release: - 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. - Some RSS tests. - VLAN stripping and insertion tests. - Checksum and TSO tests. - ptype tests. - l3fwd-power example application tests. - Multi-process example applications tests. Functional tests ran on: - NIC: ConnectX-4 Lx / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.2-1.0.4.0 / Firmware: 14.29.1016 - NIC: ConnectX-5 / OS: RHEL7.4 / Driver: MLNX_OFED_LINUX-5.2-1.0.4.0 / Firmware: 16.29.1016 We don't see any issues introduced by the new changes in this release, however, we found the following issues while testing due to environment changes: - Bug 615 - testpmd gets stuck when deleting an FDIR flow - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615 - Won't fix. - Bug 616 - [mlx5] packet does not match a corresponding rte_flow rule due to inner ether_type spec validation - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=616 - Won't fix. - Bug 617 - [mlx5] packet does not match a corresponding rte_flow rule due to vxlan vni spec validation - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=617 - Won't fix. - Bug 618 - [mlx5] secondary process fails to start - https://bugs.dpdk.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618 - We are still looking into this.
