Even if iw did not receive some of the meshconf attributes in response to NL80211_CMD_GET_MESH_PARAMS, it tries to print that param and gets crashed. Fix this by adding a condition check before trying to access each of the mesh conf params. $ iw dev mesh0 get mesh_param mesh_nolearn Segmentation fault (core dumped) (gdb) bt #0 0x00007f21f54660e9 in nla_get_u8 () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-3.so.200 #1 0x0000562ba2f5d70d in _print_u8 (a=<optimized out>) at mesh.c:131 #2 0x0000562ba2f5d7ce in print_mesh_param_handler (msg=<optimized out>, arg=0x562ba2f85758 <_mesh_param_descrs+1080>) at mesh.c:412 #3 0x00007f21f546db9c in nl_recvmsgs_report () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-3.so.200 #4 0x00007f21f546e059 in nl_recvmsgs () from /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnl-3.so.200 #5 0x0000562ba2f5bb3b in __handle_cmd (state=0x7ffe677bc510, idby=II_NETDEV, argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>, cmdout=0x7ffe677bc508) at iw.c:541 #6 0x0000562ba2f4fe0c in __handle_cmd (cmdout=0x7ffe677bc508, argv=0x7ffe677bc658, argc=4, idby=II_NETDEV, state=0x7ffe677bc510) at iw.c:613 #7 main (argc=4, argv=0x7ffe677bc658) at iw.c:613 (gdb) up 2 #2 0x0000562ba2f5d7ce in print_mesh_param_handler (msg=<optimized out>, arg=0x562ba2f85758 <_mesh_param_descrs+1080>) at mesh.c:412 412 mdescr->nla_print_fn(mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]); (gdb) i local mdescr = 0x562ba2f85758 <_mesh_param_descrs+1080> attrs = {0x0 <repeats 35 times>, 0x562ba4002a14, 0x0 <repeats 266 times>} parent_attr = <optimized out> mesh_params = {0x0, 0x562ba4002a20, 0x562ba4002a28, 0x562ba4002a30, 0x562ba4002a38, 0x562ba4002a40, 0x562ba4002a48, 0x562ba4002a58, 0x562ba4002a68, 0x562ba4002a70, 0x562ba4002a78, 0x562ba4002a80, 0x562ba4002a88, 0x562ba4002a98, 0x562ba4002aa0, 0x562ba4002a50, 0x562ba4002aa8, 0x562ba4002ab0, 0x562ba4002a90, 0x562ba4002ab8, 0x562ba4002ac0, 0x562ba4002a60, 0x562ba4002ac8, 0x562ba4002ad0, 0x562ba4002ad8, 0x562ba4002ae0, 0x562ba4002ae8, 0x562ba4002af0, 0x562ba4002af8, 0x562ba4002b00, 0x0, 0x0} gnlh = 0x562ba4002a10 (gdb) (gdb) p mesh_params[30] $7 = (struct nlattr *) 0x0 (gdb) Signed-off-by: Gokul Sivakumar <gokulkumar792@xxxxxxxxx> --- mesh.c | 14 +++++++++----- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/mesh.c b/mesh.c index 23b3471..3797335 100644 --- a/mesh.c +++ b/mesh.c @@ -401,16 +401,20 @@ static int print_mesh_param_handler(struct nl_msg *msg, void *arg) for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(_mesh_param_descrs); i++) { mdescr = &_mesh_param_descrs[i]; - printf("%s = ", mdescr->name); - mdescr->nla_print_fn(mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]); - printf("\n"); + if (mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]) { + printf("%s = ", mdescr->name); + mdescr->nla_print_fn(mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]); + printf("\n"); + } } return NL_SKIP; } /* print out the mesh parameter */ - mdescr->nla_print_fn(mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]); - printf("\n"); + if (mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]) { + mdescr->nla_print_fn(mesh_params[mdescr->mesh_param_num]); + printf("\n"); + } return NL_SKIP; } -- 2.25.1
