patch 'sched: remove useless malloc in PIE data init' has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

[Kevin Traynor <ktraynor@redhat.com>]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 21.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/14/22. So please
shout if anyone has objections.

Also note that after the patch there's a diff of the upstream commit vs the
patch applied to the branch. This will indicate if there was any rebasing
needed to apply to the stable branch. If there were code changes for rebasing
(ie: not only metadata diffs), please double check that the rebase was
correctly done.

Queued patches are on a temporary branch at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/bcfadafe4a98b00dc6877caf034403724bbb90ba

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] sched: remove useless malloc in PIE data init

[ upstream commit 79aab97c94024c4f969308ec806efb168cccc83d ]

'rte_pie_rt_data_init(NULL)' is not expected, and it's ought to
fail when this happen. The malloc inside the function didn't work.
So remove the malloc otherwise will lead to a memory leak.

Fixes: 44c730b0e37971 ("sched: add PIE based congestion management")
