When using the ring to find out tailq entry, however it had been
freed by rte_memzone_free function. This change prevents that
from happening.

Fixes: 4e32101f9b01 ("ring: support freeing")

I am unable to follow the problem you are describing.
After the memzone for the ring is released, the contents of the memzone are not being used. I understand that the variable 'r' is being used, but that should not cause any issues.

Why do we need to free the memzone later?

After the memzone is freed, it is not removed from the 'rte_ring_tailq'.
If rte_ring_lookup is called at this time, it will cause a use-after-free problem.

We do not need this. If 'te == NULL' is true, then the ring was not found or possibly already freed.

I nit: I think it is a bit better to first release the lock and
then free the memzone.
Apart from that, LGTM.

I think both of our suggestions are contradictory. Any reason why you want to free outside the locked region?

I thought, since it belongs to the ring being freed, it makes sense to free it while holding the lock to avoid any race conditions (though, I have not checked what those are).

Don't know what you mean by 'both suggestions' here.
I think I gave only one - move memzone_free() after tailq_write_unlock().
To be more precise:
1) rte_mcfg_tailq_write_lock();
...
2) TAILQ_REMOVE(...);
3) rte_mcfg_tailq_write_unlock();
4) rte_memzone_free(r->memzone);

As I remember, memzones are protected by their own lock (mlock), so
we don't need to hold qlock to free a memzone, after ring was already
removed from the ring_list.

> I thought, since it belongs to the ring being freed, it makes sense to free it while holding the lock to avoid any race conditions (though, I have not checked what those are).


As I understand, it is ok with current design to grab mlock while 
holding qlock.
So, there is nothing wrong with current patch,
I just think that in that case it is excessive, and can be safely avoided.

I wrote 'both of our suggestions'. Essentially, in v1, freeing the memzone was outside of the lock. I suggested to move it inside and you are suggesting to move it inside.

Ah ok, I missed v1 and your comments for it.
As I said before, I don't think that we need to hold qlock here
while calling mmezone_free().
Though I don't see any harm with it either.
I'd personally would move memzone_free() after releasing qlock,
but if you guys prefer to keep it as it is - I wouldn't insist.

I looked at other libraries, stack library is the closest. Stack library frees the memzone outside the lock. I think we should keep it consistent.
I am fine to move the free outside the lock.

Thanks, Konstantin Ananyev and Honnappa Nagarahalli.
I will update the patch in v3 and move the free outside the lock.

After the memzone is freed, it is not removed from the 'rte_ring_tailq'.
If rte_ring_lookup is called at this time, it will cause a use-after-free
problem. This change prevents that from happening.

Applied, thanks.
That's a real pleasure to see reliability improved :)
