From: Reshma Pattan Date: Fri, 27 May 2016 12:06:20 +0000 (+0100) Subject: net/pcap: fix crash on close X-Git-Tag: spdx-start~6534 X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e07f80c850f2c253e1ac0b39c4956af12f100d47;p=dpdk.git net/pcap: fix crash on close Testpmd application will crash in fclose() upon quit after running the below command. "sudo gdb --args ./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/testpmd -c 0xf0 -n 4 --vdev 'eth_pcap0,tx_iface=enp1s0f1,rx_pcap=/tmp/test.pcap' -- --port-topology=chained -i" The reason is, pcap vdev creation with tx stream type as "iface" as in above command doesn't need member "dumpers" of "struct tx_pcaps", hence will not have memory allocated for it. It contains a garbage values, as local object of struct tx_pcaps is not initialized to 0 inside rte_pmd_pcap_dev_init(). So calling pcap_dump_close() on dumper as part of eth_dev_stop() is causing segfault in fclose(). Fix is to initialize local object of struct tx_pcaps to 0. Also initialize local object of struct rx_pcaps to 0. So during eth_dev_stop(), pcap_dump_close() will not be called if dumper is NULL.
