Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH 5/9] batman-adv: Use kref_get for batadv_tvlv_container_get
Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2016 16:09:20 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457190564-11419-5-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457190564-11419-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>
batadv_tvlv_container_get requires that tvlv.container_list_lock is held by
the caller. It is therefore not possible that an item in
tvlv.container_list has an reference counter of 0 and is still in the list
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.
