Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/01/22. 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/21c7ed77f11c2e7e08a38dd3813a1bf7c7cb7071

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/virtio: fix crash when configured twice

[ upstream commit 52bd03e969e9b38a7357287aece2488c7f92158f ]

When first attempt to configure a device with RX interrupt enabled fails
for some reason (e.g. because "Multiple intr vector not supported"),
second attempt to configure the device with RX interrupt disabled and
feature set unchanged will succeed but will leave virtio queues not
allocated. Accessing the queues will cause a segfault.

First attempt:
  - virtio_dev_configure()
    - virtio_init_device() is called to reinit the device because
      "dev->data->dev_conf.intr_conf.rxq" is "1"
      - virtio_configure_intr() fails and returns an error
      - virtio_free_queues() frees previously allocated virtio queues
    - virtio_init_device() fails and returns an error
  - virtio_dev_configure() fails and returns an error

Second attempt:
  - virtio_dev_configure()
    - This time virtio_init_device() is not called, virtio queues
      are not allocated

With this fix, reinit the device during configuration if virtio queues
are not allocated.

Fixes: 2b38151f745a ("net/virtio: fix queue memory leak on error")
