The standard "fast-tests" suite is used to sanity-check large parts of the DPDK codebase, but it failed to run successfully on FreeBSD, with large numbers of failures. This is a long-standing issue reported in Bugzilla back in 2021 as issue 761.
This set attempts to rectify this situation by allowing the suite to run without errors. Mostly it does this by disabling test suites that rely on features like multi-process which are unsupported on FreeBSD. It also fixes the test_debug suite which should run on BSD but was failing. v2: * squash patches for fixes into patch 1 * separate patch for some cleanup of process spawning into patch 2 which does not need backport Bruce Richardson (2): test: fix failing tests on FreeBSD test: simplify spawning extra test processes app/test/process.h | 20 ++------------------ app/test/test_debug.c | 6 +++--- app/test/test_eal_flags.c | 26 +++++++++++++------------- app/test/test_external_mem.c | 4 ++-- app/test/test_interrupts.c | 2 +- app/test/test_mp_secondary.c | 4 ++-- app/test/test_pdump.c | 4 ++++ app/test/test_timer_secondary.c | 4 ++-- 8 files changed, 29 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) -- 2.51.0
