Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 08/05/21. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/dc023498c91589402aa09462c279ae14684aee66

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix crash on reconnect

[ upstream commit 3c929a0bb3e7addc5103227bff126b8b9dd952ef ]

When the vhost-user frontend like Virtio-user tries to
reconnect to the restarted Vhost backend, the Vhost backend
segfaults when multiqueue is enabled.

This is caused by VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE being called for
a virtqueue that has not been created before, causing a NULL
pointer dereferencing.

This patch adds the VHOST_USER_GET_VRING_BASE requests to
the list of requests that trigger queue pair allocations.

Fixes: 160cbc815b41 ("vhost: remove a hack on queue allocation")
