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 03/06/22. 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/496747d3895896c0f1e3de07c384517216dbd90e

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/txgbe: reset security context pointer on close

[ upstream commit 6d498b853fe3110013fbfb69f8bc05d8de509f88 ]

When txgbe_dev_close() is cleaning up, it does not correctly set
the security_ctx variable to NULL, which will lead to wild pointer.

Fixes: f437d97c3df1 ("net/txgbe: add IPsec context creation")
