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 06/14/25. 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/48ae218283ce18fec7fdb164ea232ba2d86d337a

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/hns3: fix memory leak on failure

[ upstream commit 1c27385dcef1384a1a10edd86bb843b06547b161 ]

When the hns3_dfx_reg_fetch_data() function returns from processing
failure, cmd_descs is not freed, which leads to leakage.
This patch fit it.

By the way, this patch uses calloc to apply for heap memory instead
of hugepage memory.

Fixes: ef1fbd355451 ("net/hns3: add more registers to dump")
