[dpdk-stable] patch 'examples/fips_validation: remove unused allocation' has been queued to stable release 20.11.4

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.4

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/12/21. 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/steevenlee/dpdk

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/steevenlee/dpdk/commit/1aab8371d34dce3a596ddb1792618c32653cf9f9

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] examples/fips_validation: remove unused allocation
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

[ upstream commit 25d392e1999b3d766f3a9f142372cc1220fa2c97 ]

The val.val pointer is allocated memory, however this memory is then
freed in get_writeback_data() without being used beforehand.
The pointer is then allocated memory again before use,
so the very first allocation is removed as it was unnecessary.

Fixes: f4797bae0050 ("examples/fips_validation: support plain SHA")
