            Bug ID: 775
           Summary: Potential error(e.g., resource leak, deadlock) due to
                    the unreleased lock
           Product: DPDK

Hi, developers, thank you for your checking. The lock sh->txpp.mutex may not be
correctly released if the !sh->txpp.refcnt || --sh->txpp.refcnt is true and
control flow goes to the branch listed below. Finally, the method returns with
the unreleased lock. The fix is to insert
pthread_mutex_unlock(&sh->txpp.mutex); before returning.

void
mlx5_txpp_stop(struct rte_eth_dev *dev)
{
        struct mlx5_priv *priv = dev->data->dev_private;
        struct mlx5_dev_ctx_shared *sh = priv->sh;
        int ret;

        if (!priv->txpp_en) {
                /* Packet pacing is already disabled for the device. */
                return;
        }
        priv->txpp_en = 0;
        ret = pthread_mutex_lock(&sh->txpp.mutex);
        MLX5_ASSERT(!ret);
        RTE_SET_USED(ret);
        MLX5_ASSERT(sh->txpp.refcnt);
        if (!sh->txpp.refcnt || --sh->txpp.refcnt)
                return; // the method returns with unreleased lock
        /* No references any more, do actual destroy. */
        mlx5_txpp_destroy(sh);
        ret = pthread_mutex_unlock(&sh->txpp.mutex);
        MLX5_ASSERT(!ret);
        RTE_SET_USED(ret);
}
