Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.11

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/14/25. 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/bluca/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/bluca/dpdk-stable/commit/e691ab105205f25e378c855fb4a39f8cbe8b776a

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] graph: fix updating edge with active graph

[ upstream commit eaa11767069f476e13000fc3fec618a40c46ab7e ]

After creating at least one graph and calling rte_node_edge_update to
add a new edge on a node which is in use in the graph, the node memory
is reallocated but the active graph still has a pointer to the freed
memory.

When destroying the graph, it causes a use-after-free error detected by
libasan:

ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free

    #2 0x0000005abb1b in rte_node_edge_update lib/graph/node.c:339
    ...

Use malloc+memcpy and add an internal function to replace all references
to the old node memory before freeing it.

Fixes: c59dac2ca14a ("graph: implement node operations")
