Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/16/23. 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/a981ef39159d96f6e9d72ea5986265b992bbfd74

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] ethdev: fix potential leak in PCI probing helper

[ upstream commit 1f00a6a037040a7c6ba883e2c312894c6ebc4c32 ]

Sanity check is performed after a rte_eth_dev object is allocated.

The object is not freed if the check fails, though in the current
reality this never happens, but it's better programming paradigm
to move the quick check up front to the start of
rte_eth_dev_pci_generic_probe().

Fixes: dcd5c8112bc3 ("ethdev: add PCI driver helpers")
