patch 'net/mlx5: workaround list management of Rx queue control' has been queued to stable release 21.11.9

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/02/24. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/c360d3ce339bfbe9cb6abf5bd04e8c5a2b769246

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5: workaround list management of Rx queue control

[ upstream commit f957ac99643535fd218753f4f956fc9c5aadd23c ]

The LIST_REMOVE macro only removes the entry from the list and
updates list itself. The pointers of this entry are not reset to
NULL to prevent the accessing for the 2nd time.

In the previous fix for the memory accessing, the "rxq_ctrl" was
removed from the list in a device private data when the "refcnt" was
decreased to 0. Under only shared or non-shared queues scenarios,
this was safe since all the "rxq_ctrl" entries were freed or kept.

There is one case that shared and non-shared Rx queues are configured
simultaneously, for example, a hairpin Rx queue cannot be shared.
When closing the port that allocated the shared Rx queues'
"rxq_ctrl", if the next entry is hairpin "rxq_ctrl", the hairpin
"rxq_ctrl" will be freed directly with other resources. When trying
to close the another port sharing the "rxq_ctrl", the LIST_REMOVE
will be called again and cause some UFA issue. If the memory is no
longer mapped, there will be a SIGSEGV.

Adding a flag in the Rx queue private structure to remove the
"rxq_ctrl" from the list only on the port/queue that allocated it.

Fixes: bcc220cb57d7 ("net/mlx5: fix shared Rx queue list management")
