[PATCH v2] igb: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ethtool loopback test

[Tianyu Xu]

The igb driver currently causes a NULL pointer dereference when executing
the ethtool loopback test. This occurs because there is no associated
q_vector for the test ring when it is set up, as interrupts are typically
not added to the test rings.

Since commit 5ef44b3cb43b removed the napi_id assignment in
__xdp_rxq_info_reg(), there is no longer a need to pass a napi_id to it.
Therefore, simply use 0 as the last parameter.

Dear Tianyu,


Thank you for your patch.

Where is this test located? Or, how do I run the test manually?

[Tianyu Xu]

Hi Paul,
On my board with i210 NIC, "ethtool -t eth0" got the NULL pointer dereference.
After the fix, "ethtool -t eth0" works well.

Kind regards,
Tianyu.
