Subject: [PATCH] lib/ethdev: fix segfault in secondary process by validating dev_private pointer
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2025 07:54:39 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250722115439.1353573-1-14pwcse1224@uetpeshawar.edu.pk> (raw)

In secondary processes, accessing 'dev->data->dev_private' directly can
cause a segmentation fault if the primary process has exited or the
shared memory is unavailable.

This patch adds a check for dev/data/dev_private and uses
rte_mem_virt2phy to ensure the pointer is still valid.

Fixes: bdad90d12ec8 ('ethdev: change device info get callback to return int')
Cc: stable@dpdk.org
