[dpdk-dev] [PATCH] net/mlx5: fix validation of Rx queue number

[Dekel Peled]

Function mlx5_ctrl_flow_vlan() is used to set the rss rule in
MLX5 PMD, using priv->reta_idx_n as number of Rx queues.
This number is passed to mlx5_flow_validate_action_rss(), which
attempts to access the Rx queues at priv->rxqs.
In case priv->rxqs_n is 0, priv->rxqs is empty, and
mlx5_flow_validate_action_rss() will crash with segmentation fault.

priv->reta_idx_n can never be 0, even if priv->rxqs_n is set to 0.
But when priv->rxqs_n is set to 0, setting the rss rule is invalid.

This patch updates mlx5_ctrl_flow_vlan(), if priv->rxqs_n is 0 the
function will fail with EINVAL errno.

Applied to next-net-mlx, thanks.
