INIT_LIST_HEAD gets a struct list head * and initializes list->next &
list->prev.
Use calloc to initialize other members from struct abc.

st_list_head list;
I hope this will be typedef of struct list_head.

INIT_LIST_HEAD(&r->list); <-- This indicate r as a List Head.

Just small change you need. r remains be your list head. To add new node,
create newnode of type (abc_st *) and add it in the list.
check the code modification which clarify you better.


typedef struct abc {
char client_id[18];
    char mac[18];
    st_list_head list;
}abc_st;

abc_st* check_fields (abc_st *ptr)
{
    char cmd[500];
    MYSQL_RES *result;
    MYSQL_ROW row;
    int num_rows;
    abc_st *r=NULL,*temp=NULL;
    abc_st *newnode = NULL;
    INIT_LIST_HEAD(&r->list);   // i have intialized the head here

    sprintf(cmd, "SELECT * FROM ABCD_TABLE WHERE MAC = %.4x", ptr->mac);
        /* Running the sql query to check for fields with value in database
*/
    if (mysql_query(abc_db.db_handle, cmd)) {
        num_rows = -1;
        goto done;
    }
    result = mysql_store_result(abc_db.db_handle);
    if (result == NULL) {
        num_rows = -1;
        goto done;
    }
    num_rows = mysql_num_rows(result);

    while ((row = mysql_fetch_row(result)))
    {
        if ((newnode = (abc_st *)calloc(sizeof(abc_st))) == NULL) {
            fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", strerror(errno));
            goto done;
        }
        memcpy(newnode->mac,row[1],strlen(row[1])+1);
        memcpy(newnode->client_id,row[0],strlen(row[0])+1);

        list_add(&(newnode->list), &(r->list));
    }
done:
    mysql_free_result(result);

    return r;

}
