On Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 1:22 PM Jananee Parthasarathy <jananeex.m.parthasara...@intel.com<mailto:jananeex.m.parthasara...@intel.com>> wrote: Unit test table_autotest results in segmentation fault. Crash occurs in test_table_lpm_ipv6_combined(). Variable 'nht_pos0' used as array subscript is not initialized in rte_table_lpm_ipv6_entry_add(). It will not be assigned, if a rule does not exist. In such case a junk number or invalid array index might result in segmentation fault due to array out of bounds when lpm->nht_users is used with such invalid array index. Fix is to initialize the variables used for array subscript.

Just noticed that nht_pos is not initialised to 0 in ipv4 code. It fixes the segfault I saw, leaving the ack to the maintainer.
