Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 16.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable
yet. It will be pushed if I get no objections before 01/28/17.
So please shout if anyone has objections.

Note 16.11 is a LTS release. v16.11.1 is planned to be released
shortly (about 2-3 weeks) after v17.02.

Subject: [PATCH] pci: fix check of mknod

[ upstream commit f1d54e6dfb1624d9c2d0a1b8a96eb4a84070b639 ]

In function pci_mknod_uio_dev() in lib/librte_eal/eal/eal_pci_uio.c,
The return value of mknod() is ret, not f got by fopen().
So the value of ret should be checked for mknod().

Fixes: f7f97c16048e ("pci: add option --create-uio-dev to run without hotplug")
