[dpdk-stable] patch 'eal: fix out of bound access when no CPU available' has been queued to LTS release 17.11.6

[Yongseok Koh <yskoh@mellanox.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to LTS release 17.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objection by 03/13/19. So please
shout if anyone has objection.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the patch applied
to the branch. If the code is different (ie: not only metadata diffs), due for example to
a change in context or macro names, please double check it.

Thanks.

Yongseok

Subject: [PATCH] eal: fix out of bound access when no CPU available

[ upstream commit 7b55015e1487a5f407a760cfb4d9dbf1ddacd0cc ]

In the unlikely case when the dpdk application is started with no cpu
available in the [0, RTE_MAX_LCORE - 1] range, the master_lcore is
automatically chosen as RTE_MAX_LCORE which triggers an out of bound
access.

Either you have a crash then, or the initialisation fails later when
trying to pin the master thread on it.
In my test, with RTE_MAX_LCORE == 2:

$ taskset -c 2 ./master/app/testpmd --no-huge -m 512 --log-level *:debug
[...]
EAL: pthread_setaffinity_np failed
PANIC in eal_thread_init_master():
cannot set affinity
7: [./master/app/testpmd() [0x47f629]]

Fixes: 2eba8d21f3c9 ("eal: restrict cores auto detection")
