Sorry about the delay in sending minutes, here they are:

* BQL (Dave Taht)
  * Embedded drivers missing BQL
    * Complain to the driver maintainers
    * Driver review time is best to request basic features like BQL
    * Some of the problems are in the vendor downstream drivers
  * Are vendors running flent and other latency tests?
    * Jesse: yes, although they struggle at DC speeds
  * Multi-queue BQL
    * Not much interest among attendees
    * Andrew: try to keep it in the core, fewer driver changes the better
 * CI
   * Most of the networking selftests are now run on pending patches
     * https://netdev.bots.linux.dev/status.html
   * Not reporting back to patchwork, yet, because there’s a bunch of
     pre-existing failures
   * Paolo: we should extend the tests with mptcp tests
   * DSA tests may also be useful - Andrew to investigate if they can run in SW
   * We’re looking to integrate with other people running tests themselves


Unrelated to the call, but we have also posted a "2023 netdev
retrospective": https://people.kernel.org/kuba/netdev-in-2023
