Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/18/18. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix crash after mmap failure

[ upstream commit cf14478d775cadbaed4f5aa96e3812b44a2383c1 ]

If mmap() call fails in vhost_user_set_mem_table, dev->mem
is set to NULL. If later, qva_to_vva() is called, a segfault
occurs.

Fixes: 8f972312b8f4 ("vhost: support vhost-user")
