[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 4/4] table: fix pointer calculations at initialization

[Balazs Nemeth <balazs.nemeth@intel.com>]

During initialization of rte_table_hash_ext and rte_table_hash_lru, a
contiguous region of memory is allocated to store meta data, buckets,
extended buckets, keys, stack of keys, stack of extended buckets and
data entries. The size of each region depends on the hash table
configuration.

The address of each region is calculated using offsets relative to the
beginning of the memory region. Without this patch, the offsets
contain the size of the table meta data (sizeof(struct
rte_table_hash)). These addresses are stored in pointers which are
used when entries are added or deleted and lookups are performed.

Instead of adding these offsets to the address of the beginning of the
memory region, they are added to the address of the end of the meta
data (= address of the beginning of the memory region + sizeof(struct
rte_table_hash)). The resulting addresses are off by sizeof(struct
rte_table_hash) bytes. As a consequence, memory past the allocated
region can be accessed by the add, delete and lookup operations.

This patch corrects the address calculation by not including the size
of the meta data in the offsets.
