Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 25.11.1

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 03/23/26. 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/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/022207b8ff743b5a4a937171c882fc1b0bcc47ef

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: fix subchannel leak on device removal

[ upstream commit cfd239bd7c5250f790b7fa4c0e7d8cd0a65ca808 ]

eth_hn_dev_uninit() only closes the primary channel but never
closes subchannels allocated during hn_dev_configure(). This
leaks VMBus subchannel resources on device removal.

Close all subchannels before closing the primary channel to
prevent resource leaks.

Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
