Hi,

FYI, your patch has been queued to stable release 24.11.9

Note it hasn't been pushed to http://dpdk.org/browse/dpdk-stable yet.
It will be pushed if I get no objections before 10/29/26. 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/fed0c62c081830dded1c07e8541a1598836ba35b

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/sfc: fix shared adapter pointer in secondary process

[ upstream commit d7462799d4d91240e67492dc5cf476fb8aa6922a ]

Add the missing assignment to preclude NULL pointer dereference that has
happened in the context of the secondary process at the dev close stage.

Fixes: 5313b441d8ae ("net/sfc: separate adapter primary process and shared data")
