[dpdk-dev,15/21] vhost: don't dereference invalid dev pointer after its reallocation
Checks
Commit Message
numa_realloc() reallocates the virtio_net device structure and
updates the vhost_devices[] table with the new pointer if the rings
are allocated different NUMA node.
Problem is that vhost_user_msg_handler() still derenferences old
pointer afterward.
This patch prevents this by fetching again the dev pointer in
vhost_devices[] after messages have been handled.
