Hi Hailin. Thanks for testing and reporting these.

Were you able to dissect which commit is causing this ?

Is it the same commit as below ?

That was the only change to drivers/crypto/virtio/*

>   2. Bug 1849 - [dpdk-22.11.11rc1] virtio_perf_cryptodev_func/test_virtio_aes_cbc_sha1_hmac: dpdk-test-crypto-perf EAL: Error: Invalid memory

As you've dissected this, similar to 22.11 I've reverted below commit.

Can you re-run these 2 tests with the offending patch reverted ?

on those patches
- 2/3 is applied on 24.11 branch.
- 1/3 and 3/3 are not tagged for backport.
1/3 is just a clean up and not really needed.
3/3 is a bit intrusive and does not apply. It is too close to the
24.11.4 release now, but we could consider a custom backport for 24.11.5
if it's really needed.

thanks,
Kevin.
