[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] vhost: call rte_vhost_enable_guest_notification only on enabled queues

Thu Apr 7 02:29:06 CEST 2016


If the vhost PMD were configured with more queues than the guest, the old
code would segfault in rte_vhost_enable_guest_notification due to a NULL
virtqueue pointer.

Fixes: ee584e9710b9 ("vhost: add driver on top of the library")
