            Bug ID: 1728
           Summary: Segmentation fault in dpdk-test-compress-perf with
                    compress_zlib vdev on Ubuntu 24.04 with GCC 14.2 and
                    kernel 6.8.0
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 24.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: Normal
         Component: DTS
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org

  Target Milestone: ---

Running dpdk-test-compress-perf with compress_zlib2 virtual device and a
specific set of compression parameters causes a segmentation fault in
main_loop() at comp_perf_test_cyclecount.c:384.


Steps to Reproduce:
Environment:
OS: Ubuntu 24.04 (VERSION_ID="24.04")
Kernel: 6.8.0-60-generic
GCC: 14.2.0
DPDK: 24.11.2

run the below command line

sudo   build/app/dpdk-test-compress-perf --file-prefix=compress -l 3,4-7 
--vdev=compress_zlib2 --no-pci -v   --socket-mem 0 -- --ptest pmd-cyclecount

(gdb) p m->data_len
Cannot access memory at address 0x28
(gdb)


Analysis:
The crash occurs while accessing m->data_len, indicating that the m pointer (a
rte_mbuf*) is NULL or invalid.

Root cause appears to be a failure in allocation or initialization of the
rte_mbuf object before dereferencing.

The issue is reproducible consistently with the parameters provided.

As a temporary workaround, adding a NULL check on the m pointer bypasses the
crash, but it does not solve the underlying buffer allocation/management issue.
