[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/i40e: fix VF reset stats crash

[David C Harton]

Calling i40evf_dev_xstats_reset can sometimes crash.

Fixed issue by adding a pstats NULL check.

Perhaps add a note here, that the root cause of (pstats == NULL)
is a valid error return from i40evf_query_stats(), if the vf
command fails to execute.

Hence, we are not hiding symptoms of a different issue here,
this NULL check is required to validate the returned values.

NULL is returned if the call fails.  
If desired I can capture the return code and base the check off the rc instead.
That's the pattern used in a couple other places.

Thanks,

If you prefer that implementation of the check, you can keep my Ack, I don't mind much.

I reviewed as in my experience a NULL pointer can often be detected earlier, but that wasn't the case here.

PS: Apologies I didn't reply to v2, was reading "up" and didn't check for newer..
