[Shani Peretz]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 12/30/25. 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/shanipr/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/shanipr/dpdk-stable/commit/4053a3ac02b377d16898e47614bc1c5bc40fddda

Subject: [PATCH] app/dma-perf: fix use after free

[ upstream commit e605615db7d4b104f41fc8f409eb569e962710d8 ]

The test_case->eal_args was pointer the entry of cfgfile, it will be
used later, but the cfgfile was closed in load_configs(). This commit
fix it by using strdup.

Fixes: 623dc9364dc6 ("app/dma-perf: introduce DMA performance test")
