            Bug ID: 463
           Summary: In Mellanox MLX5 driver, NULL pointer access in
                    mlx5_ipool_malloc()
           Product: DPDK
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: ARM
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: Normal
         Component: testpmd
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: Lijian.Zhang@arm.com
  Target Milestone: ---

With the last dpdk master branch code, Mellanox ConnectX-5, Ubuntu-18.04, below
code is trying to access NULL pointer.

rte_bitmap_scan(trunk->bmp, &iidx, &slab) is calling with trunk->bmp, but it's
a NULL pointer.

(gdb) p pool->free_list
$1 = 65535
(gdb) n
(gdb)
(gdb)
(gdb) p trunk
$2 = (struct mlx5_indexed_trunk *) 0x17ff01d80
(gdb) p *trunk
$3 = {idx = 0, prev = 65535, next = 65535, free = 4096, bmp = 0x0, data =
0x17ff01dc0 ""}
(gdb) p trunk->bmp
$4 = (struct rte_bitmap *) 0x0
(gdb)
