> Subject: [PATCH 1/9] net/pcap: fix argument checks
> 
> Previously rx/tx_queues were passed into eth_from_pcaps_common() as
> ptrs and were checked for being NULL.
> 
> In commit da6ba28f0540 ("net/pcap: use a struct to pass user options") that
> changed to pass in a ptr to a pmd_devargs_all which contains the
> rx/tx_queues.
> 
> The parameter checking was not updated as part of that commit and coverity
> caught that there was still a check if rx/tx_queues were NULL, apparently
> after they had been dereferenced.
> 
> Fix that by checking the pmd_devargs_all ptr and removing the NULL checks
> on rx/tx_queues.
