This is related to recent fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1820124.
Likely because NIS is enabled and SC not :(

--- Additional comment from thierry bordaz on 2020-05-06 13:41:10 EEST ---

Actually both NIS and SC are enabled. 
I think the problem is that SC is initialized later compare to NIS or Schema reload plugin.
At this point ignored_containers_sdn was not initialized yet and trigger the crash.

--- Additional comment from Alexander Bokovoy on 2020-05-06 14:11:16 EEST ---

Even though NIS and SC plugins share source code, they get linked and then loaded separately, so static variables defined in src/back-shr.c aren't shared. It means NIS plugin has to initialize map locks as well. And if ignored_containers_sdn is NULL, there is no need to go over it since none of the entries could be ignored, just return NULL.

Alexander,

Could you provide steps for verification?

--- Additional comment from Alexander Bokovoy on 2020-05-06 14:56:35 EEST ---

I tested this patch and it solves the issue to me.

Reproducer:

1. install FreeIPA
2. enable NIS plugin: ipa-nis-manage enable
3. systemctl start rpcbind
4. ipactl restart

You'll get a failure at this point because NIS plugin would crash.

Build and install a fixed package, do

ipactl restart

and everything continues to work just fine.
