Subject: alfred: handle unreadable files in bat-hosts.lua
X-Git-Url: http://git.99rst.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2312f86f7e7b0eb7029596a04cc878ebe648b921;p=openwrt-packages.git

alfred: handle unreadable files in bat-hosts.lua

get_interface_address() calls io.open() and dereferences the result
without checking it. /sys/class/net does not contain interfaces
only: with the bonding module loaded it also holds the plain file
bonding_masters, which the `ls -1` in get_interfaces_names() returns
and which has no address below it. io.open() then returns nil and
the script dies with "attempt to index a nil value", so no bat-hosts
data is published at all on such a node.

Return nil when the file cannot be opened and skip those entries in
the caller, which would otherwise index the interface table with
nil. get_hostname() gets the same guard.
