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/f2a8997ad18a6c2190ff92013a4ddaeb355e5894

Thanks.

Kevin

Subject: [PATCH] power/intel_uncore: fix crash closing uninitialized driver

[ upstream commit 74c4b081825123350578f18dc838ec0bf69ba03b ]

When the power_intel_uncore_autotest unit test is run as an unprivileged
user which cannot init the power library, it crashes the unit test
binary due to calling "rte_power_uncore_exit" after the first test case
(initialization) fails. This crash is due to trying to write to NULL
file handles.

Fix the crash by checking each file handle is non-null before writing to
it and closing it.

Fixes: 60b8a661a957 ("power: add Intel uncore frequency control")
