Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.2

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 04/29/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] net/enic: allocate stats DMA buffer upfront during probe

[ upstream commit 8d782f3f89e1dcd0c8af1c3c93501d7a06159d66 ]

The driver provides a DMA buffer to the firmware when it requests port
stats. The NIC then fills that buffer with latest stats. Currently,
the driver allocates the DMA buffer the first time it requests stats
and saves it for later use. This can lead to crashes when
primary/secondary processes are involved. For example, the following
sequence crashes the secondary process.

1. Start a primary app that does not call rte_eth_stats_get()
2. dpdk-procinfo -- --stats

dpdk-procinfo crashes while trying to allocate the stats DMA buffer
because the alloc function pointer (vdev.alloc_consistent) is valid
only in the primary process, not in the secondary process.

Overwriting the alloc function pointer in the secondary process is not
an option, as it will simply make the pointer invalid in the primary
process. Instead, allocate the DMA buffer during probe so that only
the primary process does both allocate and free. This allows the
secondary process to dump stats as well.

Fixes: 9913fbb91df0 ("enic/base: common code")
