Subject: [PATCH] kernelshark: Fix TEP filter array parsing logic
Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:05:25 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260224170528.728883-1-ciunas@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
When saving a session with more than a single TEP advanced filter,
KernelShark triggers a json-c assertion:
"json_object_array_get_idx: Assertion
`json_object_get_type(jso) == json_type_array' failed."
This is caused because the code reuses the `jfilter` variable inside
the loop to fetch each array element:
jfilter = json_object_array_get_idx(jfilter, i);
This overwrites the original array object. On the next iteration,
`jfilter` is no longer a json_type_array, causing the assertion.
Fix this by introducing a temporary variable `jitem` to store each
array element, leaving `jfilter` to point to the actual array.
