[luca.boccassi at gmail.com]

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/9060be0a5cba57dc4c3c508efda2a3bd5ea400e7

Thanks.

Luca Boccassi

Subject: [PATCH] net/iavf: fix memory leak on IPsec SP delete

[ upstream commit ae8dc9f053dc70842a30dc84dcfaf0f75ec66ed8 ]

When deleting IPsec SP, we return status response without freeing the
request/response buffers. Do not return and proceed to freeing instead.

Fixes: 6bc987ecb860 ("net/iavf: support IPsec inline crypto")
