Bug ID: 264 Summary: ring_pmd fails to properly release used port on 17.11 branch Product: DPDK Version: 17.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: CONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: ethdev Assignee: dev@dpdk.org Reporter: matias....@nokia.com Target Milestone: --- During do_eth_dev_ring_create() the global eth_dev->data pointer is overwritten with a pointer to a newly allocated memory block. When ring pmd is uninitialized, the locally allocated data is freed but the global pointer is newer fixed. One symptom of this is that the used ethdev port will appear reserved even after the ring pmd has been uninitialized. This issue is already fixed in master branch by commit 5f19dee60 "drivers/net: do not use private ethdev data" but this commit is missing from the LTS 17.11 branch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
