Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 20.11.5

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 02/20/22. 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/3915e71a30b0c5740c878003d172e8b4e5041eeb

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/memif: remove pointer deference before null check

[ upstream commit b6c0f464affcf0ec6fcf0a26e517692dc08244f4 ]

There are duplicates of assignment here, the one before null check
may cause a null pointer deference, so remove the previous one.

Fixes: 09c7e63a71f9 ("net/memif: introduce memory interface PMD")
