Coverity reports an issue in ethdev:
*** CID 124562: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
/lib/librte_ether/rte_ethdev.c: 1518 in rte_eth_xstats_get()
1512
1513 /* global stats */
1514 for (i = 0; i < RTE_NB_STATS; i++) {
1515 stats_ptr = RTE_PTR_ADD(ð_stats,
1516
rte_stats_strings[i].offset);
1517 val = *stats_ptr;
>>> CID 124562: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
>>> Dereferencing null pointer "xstats".
1518 snprintf(xstats[count].name,
sizeof(xstats[count].name),
1519 "%s", rte_stats_strings[i].name);
1520 xstats[count++].value = val;
1521 }
1522
1523 /* per-rxq stats */
If a user calls rte_eth_xstats_get(portid, NULL, n) with n != 0,
it may result in a crash. Although the API documentation says that
n is the size of the table and xstats can be NULL if n == 0, we
can add an additional check here to make Coverity happy.
In that case, the return value is the same than when n == 0 is
passed, it returns the number of statistics.
