  In rte_log_dump_history() the log_history list is reinitialized without
resetting the log_history_size. In the next call to rte_log_add_in_history()
the log_history_size > RTE_LOG_HISTORY and the code unconditionally tries
to remove the first entry:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Shouldn't we decrease log_history_size here?



Also, it's probably a bit off-topic, but I think the function that
adds in history could be optimized a bit to avoid doing the copy with
the lock held. Maybe something like this is feasible:

rte_mempool_mc_get() into hist_buf
memcpy(hist_buf->buf, buf, size);
rte_spinlock_lock(&log_list_lock
if (log_history_size > RTE_LOG_HISTORY) {
    STAILQ_REMOVE_HEAD
    log_history_size --
}
STAILQ_INSERT_TAIL
log_history_size ++
rte_spinlock_unlock(&log_list_lock)

Feel free to implement it if you feel it's better. It would also
require to increase the number of objects in the pool to
RTE_LOG_HISTORY*2 + RTE_MAX_LCORE

Regards,
Olivier

Thanks for catching that one.

Makes sense. I'll take a look into that one later.

Thanks,
