Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 22.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/16/25. 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/5b3b2e64eec9a6f07ba2cd4001eb769065bdb8b5

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] bus/auxiliary: fix crash in cleanup

[ upstream commit f03c01f601b1b8d90f62c8a5acead72c04797d7a ]

DPDK auxiliary bus first creates a list of known devices in the
`auxiliary_bus.device_list` and then tries to attach a driver to each
device on that list.

If the driver attachment has failed, a device will remain on the list.

The device destruction did not validate driver existence and
crashed.

The patch validates auxiliary device driver before accessing
driver related resources.

Fixes: 1afce3086cf4 ("bus/auxiliary: introduce auxiliary bus")
