Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/8] ipc: fix vfio memleak
Date: Wed, 17 Apr 2019 15:41:00 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190417144100.22548-1-herakliusz.lipiec@intel.com> (raw)
Message-ID: <20190417144100.xU44Bsv-tW0SZqv6XkemwgayiVFIA_JBp7mdt3Rmmsk@z> (raw)

When sending multiple requests, rte_mp_request_sync
can succeed sending a few of those requests, but then
fail on a later one and in the end return with rc=-1.
The upper layers - e.g. device hotplug - currently
handles this case as if no messages were sent and no
memory for response buffers was allocated, which is
not true. Fixed by always freeing reply message buffers.

Fixes: 83a73c5fef66 ("vfio: use generic multi-process channel")
