Hello,

We ran the following functional tests with Nvidia hardware:

- Basic functionality:
   Send and receive multiple types of traffic.
- testpmd xstats counter test.
- testpmd timestamp test.
- Changing/checking link status through testpmd.
- rte_flow tests (See https://doc.dpdk.org/guides/nics/mlx5.html for 
supported features)
- RSS tests.
- VLAN filtering, stripping, and insertion tests.
- Checksum and TSO tests.
- ptype tests.
- link_status_interrupt example application tests.
- l3fwd-power example application tests.
- Multi-process example applications tests.
- Hardware LRO tests.
- Buffer Split tests.
- Tx scheduling tests.

We ran our testing with Shani's backport for 9ec0c6bda04a ("net/mlx5: 
add RSS TIR registration API") on top of  v25.11.1-rc1. Environments:
- NIC: ConnectX-7 / OS: Ubuntu 24.04 / Driver: DOCA-Host 3.3.0-088000 / 
Firmware: 28.48.1000
- DPU: BlueField-3 / OS: Ubuntu 24.04 | DOCA SW version: 3.3.0 / 
Firmware: 24.48.1000

We have not identified any new issues caused by changes in this release; 
however, we are still investigating test failures that are suspected to 
be related to environment changes.

Thanks,
Ali

Re: 25.11.1 patches review and test

[Riley Fletcher]

IBM - Power Systems Testing
DPDK v25.11.1-rc1

* Build CI on Fedora 40, 41, 42 and 43 container images for ppc64le
* Basic PF on Mellanox: No issues found
* Performance: TestPMD throughput single core tests
* OS:- RHEL 10.1  kernel: 6.12.0-124.39.1.el10_1.ppc64le
         with gcc version 14.2.1 20250110 (Red Hat 14.2.1-7)

Systems tested:
  - LPARs on IBM Power11 CHRP IBM, 9105-22A
     NICs:
     - Mellanox Technologies MT4129 Family [ConnectX-7 100 GbE 2-Port]
     - Firmware Version: 28.47.1088
     - OFED 26.01-1.0.0

All looks well on our end.
