[mlx5] CX6 NIC bug, the process exits abnormally.

[jiangheng (G)]

Hi
During the pressure test on the CX6 using DPDK, the process exits abnormally. It is located that the problem is caused by a bug of the DPDK mlx5 driver. Please check whether the latest firmware and driver fix this coredump.

By default, the DPDK enables the rxtx_vect and compress CQE functions, and the receive ringbuffer is 1024. During the service process pressure, the service process receives SIGFAULT and exits.

Root cause: When processing compressed CQEs, 9 mini CQEs need to be processed and (*rxq->elts)[1021] -> (*rxq->elts)[1028] is accessed. Only [0, 1027] are reserved during the initialization of the receive queue. A null pointer is accessed due to out-of-bounds access. As a result, a core dump occurs in the process.
