[dpdk-stable] patch 'net/bnxt: fix uninitialized pointer access in Tx' has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 18.08.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/27/18. 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. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Kevin Traynor

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix uninitialized pointer access in Tx

[ upstream commit 63d086a52f0120523f3a33878d3ca0072b2de879 ]

bnxt_start_xmit() was attempting to access an uninitialized ptr - txbd1
which would lead to segmentation fault.
Fix to initialize ptr to NULL and check for the same before access.

Fixes: f10258e39ec2 ("net/bnxt: fix HW Tx checksum offload check")
