Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/16/24. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/5126f7dd1094e8a1366cc52ac946831f3129b53b

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix use after free when releasing Tx queues

[ upstream commit b805b7c451f1ee5bafa5628ee67f3a495f6a8682 ]

In function mlx5_dev_configure, dev->data->tx_queues is assigned
to priv->txqs. When a member is removed from a bond, the function
eth_dev_tx_queue_config is called to release dev->data->tx_queues.
However, function mlx5_dev_close will access priv->txqs again and
cause the use after free problem.

In function mlx5_dev_close, before free priv->txqs, we add a check
that dev->data->tx_queues is not NULL.
