            Bug ID: 2111
           Summary: eal: rte_dev_probe() rollback can call
                    local_dev_remove(NULL)
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 26.11
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: Normal
         Component: core
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: stephen@networkplumber.org
  Target Milestone: ---

local_dev_probe() sets *new_dev =3D NULL (lib/eal/common/eal_common_dev.c:1=
86)
and can return at :252 without setting it. rte_dev_probe() continues on -EE=
XIST
(:321); if the secondary sync then fails it reaches rollback: and calls
local_dev_remove(dev) (:369) with dev =3D=3D NULL, which dereferences it (:=
405).
Narrow path.
