Bug ID: 347 Summary: TAPPMD frees buffers it fails to send Product: DPDK Version: 19.08 Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: Normal Component: ethdev Assignee: dev@dpdk.org Reporter: harry.wa...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- static uint16_t pmd_tx_burst(void *queue, struct rte_mbuf **bufs, uint16_t nb_pkts) . . tap_write_mbufs(txq, num_mbufs, mbuf, &num_packets, &num_tx_bytes); num_tx++; /* free original mbuf */ rte_pktmbuf_free(mbuf_in); . . If tap_write_mbufs fails to send packets ( i.e. num_packets < num_mbufs ) In my situation I'm sending exactly one packet and it fails to send, num_packets is passed out as zero, pmd_tx_burst frees the original buffer and returns 1 back. I then free the buffer because tx_burst returned zero, and this returns in a double free. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
