If message contains unknown attribute and user passes "--process-unknown" command line option, _decode() gets called with space arg set to None. In that case, attr_space variable is not initialized used which leads to following trace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 77, in <module> main() File "./tools/net/ynl/cli.py", line 68, in main reply = ynl.dump(args.dump, attrs) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 909, in dump return self._op(method, vals, [], dump=True) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 894, in _op rsp_msg = self._decode(decoded.raw_attrs, op.attr_set.name) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 639, in _decode self._rsp_add(rsp, attr_name, None, self._decode_unknown(attr)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 569, in _decode_unknown return self._decode(NlAttrs(attr.raw), None) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "tools/net/ynl/lib/ynl.py", line 630, in _decode search_attrs = SpaceAttrs(attr_space, rsp, outer_attrs) ^^^^^^^^^^ UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'attr_space' where it is not associated with a value Fix this by moving search_attrs assignment under the if statement above it to make sure attr_space is initialized.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
