1) Aaron: Intel test lab update
- Intel test lab is up and running
- To avoid such shortcomings in future, the plan is
to duplicate Intel-Lab specific test-cases in UNH test lab.
Right now it is on the stage of identifying such test-cases
and required HW.
2) Jerin: Policy for trace point addtion is automated
via devtools/checkpatches.sh and proposed in:
https://patches.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/patch/20230307120514.2774917-2-adwiv...@marvell.com/
- Main idea: libraries that already instrumented with trace-points
(cryptodev, ethdev, eventdev and mempool)
will require trace-point to be present in their new public API
functions.
- General ACK from the TB members.
3) Thomas: Call for reviews for the patch-series:
http://patchwork.dpdk.org/project/dpdk/list/?series=29438
Main changes:
- Promote DPDK thread API to stable (help MSVC integration)
- Reduce the usage of pthread functions inside DPDK code.
(pthread_cancel and pthread locks still remain for now).
- Remove 'attributes' parameter for rte_thread_create_control()
function - public API change.
4) Ben: quick update on marketing activity
