[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] crypto/scheduler: fix uninitialized capability structure

[Pablo de Lara]

Capability information is updated as slaves are attached,
but if this information is requested via rte_cryptodev_info_get()
when no slaves have been attached, the structure would not be
initialized, leading to a potential segmentation fault.

Therefore, the structure should be initialized with no
capabilities at device creation.

Fixes: 31439ee72b2c ("crypto/scheduler: add API implementations")
