RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

net/nfp: fix mbufs releasing when stop or close
PMDs have the responsibility of releasing mbufs sent through xmit burst
function. NFP PMD attaches those sent mbufs to the TX ring structure,
and it is at the next time a specific ring descriptor is going to be
used when the previous linked mbuf, already transmitted at that point,
is released. Those mbufs belonging to a chained mbuf got its own link
to a ring descriptor, and they are released independently of the mbuf
head of that chain.
The problem is how those mbufs are released when the PMD is stopped or
closed. Instead of releasing those mbufs as the xmit functions does,
this is independently of being in a mbuf chain, the code calls
rte_pktmbuf_free which will release not just the mbuf head in that
chain but all the chained mbufs. The loop will try to release those
mbufs which have already been released again when chained mbufs exist.
This patch fixes the problem using rte_pktmbuf_free_seg instead.
