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] vhost: fix memory leak

[ upstream commit 5731d6acc7fe1f76ed895d08821b51dd5c817bd0 ]

In function vhost_new_device(), current code dose not free 'dev'
in "i == MAX_VHOST_DEVICE" condition statements. It will lead to a
memory leak.

Fixes: 45ca9c6f7bc6 ("vhost: get rid of linked list for devices")
