patch 'bus/vdev: revert fix devargs in secondary process' has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

[Xueming Li]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 23.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 11/30/24. 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://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/log/?h=23.11-staging

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://git.dpdk.org/dpdk-stable/commit/?h=23.11-staging&id=1d5ac7180a8b48033600cd7006a7da1a95991c1f

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] bus/vdev: revert fix devargs in secondary process
Cc: Xueming Li <xuemingl at nvidia.com>

The ASan tool detected a memory leak in the vdev driver
alloc_devargs. The previous commit was that when inserting
a vdev device, the primary process alloc devargs and the
secondary process looks for devargs. This causes the
device to not be created if the secondary process does
not initialise the vdev device. And, this is not the
root cause.

Therefore the following commit was reverted accordingly.

After restoring this commit, the memory leak still exists.
