Only now could I answer back; sorry the late response. And thanks for your
thorough investigation.

I didn't get the chance to use *testpmd;* which arguments did you pass?

I ran a scan-build while compiling, as well as a compilation with sanitized
flags. And I saw no error in af_xdp source files.

meson --wipe build -Db_sanitize=address
ninja -C build 2>&1 san_`date -Iseconds`.log
ninja -C build 2>&1 | tee --append san_`date -Iseconds`.log
ninja -C build scan-build 2>&1 | tee --append san_`date -Iseconds`.log

How did you spot the error?
