Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 18.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 06/03/20. 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.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable-queue/commit/b622d8c04eac87376d0d2b366404517e7cc90f5f

Thanks.

Kevin.

Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: fix memory free on device close

[ upstream commit 30408aab2d4e0fd9a5d2b4e2ef2a3a7b9e6c95bf ]

The netvsc PMD was putting the mac address in private data but the
core rte_ethdev doesn't allow that it. It has to be in rte_malloc'd
memory or a message will be printed on shutdown/close.
 EAL: Invalid memory

Fixes: f8279f47dd89 ("net/netvsc: fix crash in secondary process")
