[dpdk-dev] [RFC 1/5] bus/pci: fix allocation of pci device path

[Thomas Monjalon]

06/11/2018 22:48, Stephen Hemminger:
> The pci_resource_by_index called strlen() on uninitialized
> memory which would lead to the wrong size of memory allocated
> for the path portion of the resource map. This would either cause
> excessively large allocation, or worse memory corruption.

This patch is RFC but Ferruh (UIO maintainer) was not Cc'ed.
