[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] ip_frag: fix double free of chained mbufs

[Ananyev, Konstantin]

Hi Allain,

> 
> The first mbuf and the last mbuf to be visited in the preceding loop
> are not set to NULL in the fragmentation table.  This creates the
> possibility of a double free when the fragmentation table is later freed
> with rte_ip_frag_table_destroy().

I wonder why we have to NULL only first and cur entry?
We probably have to NULL each one in that case, right?
If so, then it probably better to do in the same place we do ip_frag_key_invalidate().
As alternative, and probably better approach - can we modify rte_ip_frag_table_destroy(),
so it will free mbufs only for entires with valid keys?
