Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] eal: fix invalid memory read as reported by valgrind
Date: Thu, 26 Jun 2014 10:54:34 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1403794474-17695-1-git-send-email-aaron@arbor.net> (raw)

==29880== Invalid read of size 1
==29880==    at 0x56FF9A5: cpu_socket_id (eal_lcore.c:101)
==29880==    by 0x56FFAE9: rte_eal_cpu_init (eal_lcore.c:168)
==29880==    by 0x56F944A: rte_eal_init (eal.c:975)

The problem is that endptr points to memory allocated underneath the DIR
handle, which has already been freed.  So move the closedir() call lower.
