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/151569886c10a82650a59813a1f595fcfd25abef

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] cryptodev: fix freeing after device release

[ upstream commit eeaeca82b8cbd6599bafd4029aad5ce4dedff7a2 ]

The PMD destroy function was calling the release function, which frees
cryptodev->data, and then tries to free cryptodev->data->dev_private,
which causes the heap use after free issue.

A temporary pointer is set before the free of cryptodev->data,
which can then be used afterwards to free dev_private.
The free cannot be moved to before the release function is called,
as dev_private is used in the PMD close function while being released.

Fixes: 9e6edea41805 ("cryptodev: add APIs to assist PMD initialisation")
