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 03/02/22. 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/f85bba14cc776268d0e7540256b85df822c74c7e

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/ixgbe: reset security context pointer on close

[ upstream commit 848a37cead7bd604d51b5f04507fea3e59e9088e ]

When ixgbe_dev_close() is cleaning up, it does not correctly set
the security_ctx variable to NULL, which will lead to wild pointer.

Fixes: 9a0752f498d2 ("net/ixgbe: enable inline IPsec")
