It's due to: struct rte_pci_addr is padded with 1 byte for alignment by compiler. Then below comparison in commit 2f4adfad0a69 ("vfio: add multiprocess support") will fail if the last byte is not initialized. memcmp(&vfio_res->pci_addr, &dev->addr, sizeof(dev->addr) And commit cdc242f260e7 ("eal/linux: support running as unprivileged user") just triggers this bug by using a stack un-initialized variable. The fix is to use rte_eal_compare_pci_addr() for pci addr comparison.
