Segmentation fault when subtracting elements of Linked List

I am trying to subtract two consecutive nodes and put the result in a new node in front of them. But I get a segmentation error and then the program stops responding.

here LinkList

is the structure.

void subtract_node(LinkList **p)
{
    LinkList *q,*temp=NULL,*r;
    int i=0;
    q=r=*p;
    temp=(LinkList*)malloc(sizeof(LinkList));
    while(q!=NULL)
    {
        temp->item=q->next->item-q->item;
        temp->next=q;
        if(i==0)
        {
            *p=r=temp;
            r=r->next->next;
            q=q->next->next;
        }
        else
        {
            r->next=temp;
            temp=r;
            r=r->next->next;
            q=q->next->next;
        }
        printf("%d",i++);
    }
}
