> Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix Verbs memory allocation callback
> 
> The rdma-core library uses callbacks to allocate and free memory
> from DPDK. The memory allocation callback used the complicated
> and incorrect way to get the NUMA socket ID from the context.
> The context was wrong that might result in wrong socket ID
> and allocating memory from wrong node.
> 
> The callbacks are assigned once as Infinibande device context
> is created allowing early access to shared DPDK memory for all
> Verbs internal objects need that.
> 
> Fixes: 36dabcea78f0 ("net/mlx5: use anonymous Direct Verbs allocator
> argument")
> Fixes: 2eb4d0107acc ("net/mlx5: refactor PCI probing on Linux")
> Fixes: 17e19bc4dde7 ("net/mlx5: add IB shared context alloc/free functions")
