Hi
I got a multipath segfault while running iscsi login/logout and following scripts in parallel:

#!/bin/bash

interval=1
while true
do
              multipath -F &> /dev/null
              multipath -r &> /dev/null
              multipath -v2 &> /dev/null
              multipath -ll &> /dev/null
              sleep $interval
done

This is the debuginfo:
#0  0x00007f3805e4df58 in add (ctx=0x55d1569e4a00, ud=0x55d1569bafd0) at nvme.c:801

#5  0x000055d154c910a5 in main (argc=3, argv=<optimized out>) at main.c:1057

In add() at libmultipath/foreign/nvme.c, udev_device_get_devtype(ud) return a NULL pointer then dereferenced.
Here, NULL check is needed.



Check if udev_device_get_devtype return NULL before dereferencing it.
