When we get a multicast route, the rtm_type is RTN_MULTICAST, but the rtm_family may be AF_INET. If we only check the type with RTNL_FAMILY_IPMR, we will get malformed address. e.g.
+ ip -4 route add multicast 172.111.1.1 dev em1 table main Before fix: + ip route list type multicast table main multicast ac6f:101:800:400:400:0:3c00:0 dev em1 scope link After fix: + ip route list type multicast table main multicast 172.111.1.1 dev em1 scope link Fixes: 56e3eb4c3400 ("ip: route: fix multicast route dumps") Signed-off-by: Hangbin Liu <liuhang...@gmail.com> --- lib/utils.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/lib/utils.c b/lib/utils.c index e77bd30..9aa3219 100644 --- a/lib/utils.c +++ b/lib/utils.c @@ -1215,5 +1215,11 @@ int get_real_family(int rtm_type, int rtm_family) if (rtm_type != RTN_MULTICAST) return rtm_family; - return rtm_family == RTNL_FAMILY_IPMR ?
