[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/3] vhost coverity issue fixes

[Yuanhan Liu]

This is a small series fixes 3 coverity issues.

John, I'm wondering maybe maybe we could add the next-net and
next-virtio tree into the coverity test as well? So that we could
catch those errors as earlier as possible, say, at least before
they got merged into mainline.

Hi Yuanhan,

Good suggestion. I can do that. Are there any additional configs that should
be enabled? Currently the check runs with:

    CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_PCAP=y
    CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_QAT=y
    CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_MB=y
    CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_AESNI_GCM=y
    CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_PMD_SNOW3G=y

John

Non of them are related to vhost/virtio, thus we may don't need them
for next-virtio tree. And I just think of one that should be enabled:

	CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_VHOST_NUMA=y

OTOH, I'm wondering is it worth to enable those debug options, to cover
more codes?

One more question: will it cover all branches? I have 2 branches there,
master and for-testing. It would be great if the coverity test can cover
the two branches. However, it does not matter at all if it just covers
one branch only: master.

Thanks.

Series applied to dpdk-next-virtio.
