[1/2] net/mlx4: fix mem leak when a device configured repeatedly
Checks
Commit Message
From: Yunjian Wang <wangyunjian@huawei.com>
Currently, configuring a mlx device, it will allocate its
own process private in mlx5_proc_priv_init() and only frees
it when closing the device. This will lead to a memory leak,
when a device is configured repeatedly.
For example:
for(...)
do
rte_eth_dev_configure
rte_eth_rx_queue_setup
rte_eth_tx_queue_setup
rte_eth_dev_start
rte_eth_dev_stop
done
Fixes: 97d37d2c1f6b ("net/mlx4: remove device register remap")

Hi, Yunjian
Nice and tiny fix, thank you!
Could you, please, remove the empty line after mlx4/5_proc_priv_uninit(dev)
to follow the mlx5 coding style?
With best regards,
Slava

OK, I will fix it in next version.
