[PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix calling null function of VF

[Wei Dai]

hw->mac.ops.get_media-type() of ixgbe VF is NULL and should not
be called directly. It had better be replaced by calling
ixgbe_get_media_type( ) to avoid crash.

Hello,

The patch you proposed fixed a crash I experienced in IXGBE VF.
However, there's still another crash possibility
if the code will proceed with speed == 0 condition to ixgbe_get_link_capabilities
VF mac.ops.get_link_capabilities is also set to NULL;

Regards,
Gregory

There seems a NULL check in that path, so it should be OK, can you
please check:

ixgbe_get_link_capabilities()
	return ixgbe_call_func(hw, hw->mac.ops.get_link_capabilities, .)

...

#define ixgbe_call_func(hw, func, params, error) \
	(func != NULL) ? func params : error

So, if hw->mac.ops.get_link_capabilities == NULL, this will return
IXGBE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED

Hi Roger and Laurent,

This is very close the release, can you please support verifying this
defect?

An explicit Acked-by and/or Tested-by would help a lot.

Thanks,
ferruh

Hi Ferruh,

Happy to test it.  I'll get back to you shortly.

Removing stable@dpdk.org as the bug was introduced in 17.05-rc3.

Applied, thanks

Re: [dpdk-stable] [PATCH] net/ixgbe: fix calling null function of VF

[Roger B Melton]

-stable@dpdk.org per Thomas

I know this patch has already been applied but to complete the loop, I 
have applied the patch to 17.05-rc4 and verified within my application 
that the NULL function pointer issue for ixgbe_vf has been resolved.

Roger
