Description Alberto Losada 2023-07-08 11:22:13 UTC

Description of problem:

The following fast-test DPDK:fast-tests / eventdev_common_autotest is failing when running a DPDK 22.11.3 container image in OCP 4.14. In order to create the image I used ubi9 as base and installed the DPDK 22.11.3 libraries that are available in the RHEL repo. The RPMs were slightly modified to include unit tests which are not included in the original package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

dpdk-22.11-3.el9_2.x86_64	
dpdk-devel-22.11-3.el9_2.x86_64	
dpdk-tools-22.11-3.el9_2.x86_64	
OCP 4.14

How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a container image based on UBI9. Install DPDK 22.11.3 RHEL packages enabling the unit tests
2. Run the container image in OCP 4.14 (probably failing in previous versions)
3. Run the eventdev_common_autotest

Actual results:

DPDK:fast-tests / eventdev_common_autotest

 + Test Suite : eventdev common code unit test suite

Failed to find a valid event device, testing with event_skeleton device
