Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix RxQ resource cleanup
Date: Mon, 18 Oct 2021 20:24:56 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211018172456.3335320-1-dkozlyuk@nvidia.com> (raw)

mlx5_rxq_start() allocates rxq_ctrl->obj and frees it on failure,
but did not set it to NULL. Later mlx5_rxq_release() could not recognize
this object is already freed and attempted to release its resources,
resulting in a crash:

    Configuring Port 0 (socket 0)
    mlx5_common: Failed to create RQ using DevX
    mlx5_common: Can't create DevX RQ object.
    mlx5_net: Port 0 Rx queue 0 RQ creation failure.
    Segmentation fault

Set rxq_ctrl->obj to NULL after it is freed to skip resource release.
