Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/26/22. 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

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/07ee507051541ff714ad08fe1adffeb9304b8f03

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] crypto/ipsec_mb: fix queue setup null pointer dereference

[ upstream commit f51e40d1bf5efe7e659110613c63f1beb740d203 ]

When setting up a qp in a secondary process, the local qp pointer is set
to the stored device qp, configured by the primary process for that
device, but only if that device qp is not NULL.
If the device qp was not set up correctly by the primary process and has
a NULL value, the local qp variable stays at the default initialised
value, NULL. This causes a NULL pointer dereference later in the
function when using the qp value.

This is fixed by always setting the local qp to the value of the device
qp stored, and then checking if qp is NULL, returning an error if it is.

Coverity issue: 374382
Fixes: 72a169278a56 ("crypto/ipsec_mb: support multi-process")
