Hi,
FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 16.11.9
Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/17/18. 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.
Luca Boccassi

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")
