From: wei huang <huang.wei56@xxxxxxxxxx> Problem: Multipathd segment faulty occured when device policy was configured in multipath.conf as follow: #This is a device configuration just for COMPELNT device devices { device { vendor COMPELNT dev_loss_tmo 120 scheduler deadline } } The call trace is: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007f4eaaf49251 in __strstr_sse2 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f4eaaf49251 in __strstr_sse2 () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00007f4eabba879c in add_feature (f=f@entry=0x211b248, n=n@entry=0x7f4eabbc530a queue_if_no_path) at structs.c:524 #2 0x00007f4eabba6993 in merge_hwe (src=0x2148c70, dst=0x211b220) at config.c:359 #3 factorize_hwtable (hw=0x214b800, n=n@entry=77) at config.c:452 #4 0x00007f4eabba7850 in load_config (file=file@entry=0x4144c8 /etc/multipath.conf) at config.c:651 #5 0x0000000000408959 in reconfigure (vecs=vecs@entry=0x2128ae0) at main.c:2078 #6 0x00000000004063c6 in child (param=0x0) at main.c:2483 #7 main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at main.c:2725 (gdb) up #1 0x00007f4eabba879c in add_feature (f=f@entry=0x211b248, n=n@entry=0x7f4eabbc530a queue_if_no_path) at structs.c:524 524 if (strstr(*f, n)) (gdb) p *f = 0x0 Reasons: When multipathd loads config, it will call merge_hwe() to merge the features between default_hw[] and config. If the vender is not configured features in default_hw[], dst->features's value will be null. So strstr()'s first parameter *f is null in add_feature(),too.
