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/cd5d4b8368876b5e7ec2d9e620271cca1ae5c3be

Subject: [PATCH] net/netvsc: fix double-free of primary Rx queue on uninit
[ upstream commit d2e85dc8144995b595021d08a14de6ee5e0ad72d ]
eth_hn_dev_uninit() calls hn_dev_close() which calls hn_dev_free_queues()
that frees all rx queues including hv->primary via hn_rx_queue_free(rxq,
false). After that, eth_hn_dev_uninit() calls rte_free(hv->primary) again,
resulting in a double-free.
Remove the redundant rte_free(hv->primary) since hn_dev_free_queues()
already handles freeing it.
Fixes: 4e9c73e96e83 ("net/netvsc: add Hyper-V network device")
