patch 'net/bnxt: fix null pointer dereference' has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.7

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/13/24. 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/1de0e75b7b71de87232e49939dc2da8e2aeb728c

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/bnxt: fix null pointer dereference

[ upstream commit 68eeafdef4db7362ff5307995b670a98f65f2493 ]

In the recent changes to rte_eth_dev_release_port() the library sets
eth_dev->data to NULL at the end of the routine. This causes a NULL
pointer dereference in the bnxt_rep_dev_info_get_op() and
bnxt_representor_uninit() routines when it tries to validate parent dev.

Add code to handle this.

Fixes: 6dc83230b43b ("net/bnxt: support port representor data path")
