Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/25/23. 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/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/096ec31efd0f93756bbb4fe4d0876aef162a656c

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] ring: fix use after free

[ upstream commit ce4bd6e14aa693c80c5218f7d896c98b3b85b54a ]

After the memzone is freed, it is not removed from the 'rte_ring_tailq'.
If rte_ring_lookup is called at this time, it will cause a use-after-free
problem. This change prevents that from happening.

Fixes: 4e32101f9b01 ("ring: support freeing")
