patch 'net/mlx5/hws: fix buddy memory allocation' has been queued to stable release 23.11.6

[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/0811aec6ad49ac3a5f3296af8ee97bb6b6ee709e

Thanks.

Shani

Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx5/hws: fix buddy memory allocation

[ upstream commit 8d1fe10768d2749d00ceb7124866c61d31164380 ]

`buddy` was erroroneously declared as static. When multiple
threads call this routine, they set the same static variable
corrupting pool data and can cause potential double free when
releasing resources.

Fixes: b4dd7bcb0dcb ("net/mlx5/hws: add pool and buddy")
