Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix redundant free of Tx buffer
Date: Wed, 31 May 2017 10:48:45 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170531174845.35951-1-yskoh@mellanox.com> (raw)

SW completion ring of Tx (txq->elts) stores individual mbufs even if a
multi-segmented packet is sent. rte_pktmbuf_free_seg() must be used when
cleaning up the completion ring. Otherwise, chained mbufs are redundantly
freed and finally it would cause a crash.

CC: stable@dpdk.org
Fixes: 1d88ba171942 ("net/mlx5: refactor Tx data path")
