patch 'net/qede: fix use after free' has been queued to stable release 24.11.3

[Kevin Traynor]

Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.3

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 07/23/25. 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/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable

This queued commit can be viewed at:
https://github.com/kevintraynor/dpdk-stable/commit/562dab834f712c051aee23e8afb16ed64c3bd99e

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] net/qede: fix use after free

[ upstream commit ab8caba639ee6378055b2d8518e2a97b2212c737 ]

The loop cleaning up flowdir resources was using SLIST_FOREACH
but the inner loop would call rte_free. Found by building with
address sanitizer undefined check.

Also remove needless initialization, and null check.

Fixes: f5765f66f9bb ("net/qede: refactor flow director into generic aRFS")
