# DPDK Patch Review

## Patch 1/2: net/idpf: fix overflow on store of single-queue settings

### Summary
This patch fixes a buffer overflow where `parse_bool()` writes an `int` (4 bytes) to a `bool` variable (1 byte), causing 3 bytes of overflow.

### Errors

None identified.

### Warnings

None identified.

### Info

**Assignment pattern could be simplified**

The assignment `*i = (num == 1)` explicitly tests `num` against 1, but since we've already validated `num` is 0 or 1, the cast is sufficient.

Suggested simplification:
```c
*i = num;
```

This is clearer and relies on C's implicit `int`-to-`bool` conversion, which is well-defined for 0 and 1.

## Patch 2/2: net/cpfl: fix overflow on store of single-queue settings

### Summary
Identical fix to patch 1/2, applied to the cpfl driver.

### Errors

None identified.

### Warnings

None identified.

### Info

**Assignment pattern could be simplified** (same as patch 1/2)

```c
*i = num;
```

---

## Overall Assessment

Both patches correctly fix a real correctness bug (buffer overflow). The fixes are minimal, appropriate, and properly tagged with `Fixes:` and `Cc: stable at dpdk.org` for backporting.

The code quality is good. The only suggestion is a minor stylistic simplification of the boolean assignment, which does not affect correctness.
