Looks like cancel_delayed_work_sync() is called before 
INIT_DELAYED_WORK(), so calltrace looks like

batadv_mesh_init()
   batadv_originator_init()  <- injected allocation failure
   batadv_mesh_free()
     batadv_nc_mesh_free()
       cancel_delayed_work_sync()


Quick fix can be moving INIT_DELAYED_WORK() from batadv_nc_init() to 
batadv_mesh_init(), since there is complex dependencies between each 
mech part, if I understood comments correctly


Just for thoughts and syzbot testing

#syz test

Oh, ok. Next clean up call in batadv_nc_mesh_free() caused GPF, since 
fields are not initialized. Let's try to clean up one by one and do not 
break dependencies.

Quite ugly one, but idea is correct, I guess

Also, make each *_init() call clean up all allocated stuff to not call 
corresponding *_free() on error handling path, since it introduces 
problems, as syzbot reported

Thanks for the patch + syzbot interactions. I just wanted to implement a 
change - which would most likely have ended up the same way. Can you please 
send it to netdev and Cc b.a.t.m.a.n@lists.open-mesh.org? We don't have 
anything else to submit at the moment for netdev and this patch can be applied 
by netdev directly. I will add my Acked-by in this process.

Not sure about the Fixes. It is definitely wrong in the initial commit.... but 
it got only really problematic when other features got introduced. I would 
still say that the initial one should be mentioned.

Fixes: c6c8fea29769 ("net: Add batman-adv meshing protocol")

@Linus, @Marek, @Antonio: Please check whether it is ok to move the 
batadv_v_mesh_init after batadv_tt_init + batadv_originator_init. 
batadv_v_mesh_init is basically there to initialize:

* bat_priv->bat_v.ogm_buff(|_len|_mutex)
* bat_priv->bat_v.ogm_seqno
* bat_priv->bat_v.ogm_wq

batadv_originator_init is there to initialize the 

* bat_priv->orig_hash
* bat_priv->orig_work (batadv_purge_orig) + queue it up

batadv_tt_init is a lot more complex but should in theory not interact with 
ogm specific algo ops.

I wouldn't know why there could be a problem but I would leave it to the 
experts.

Kind regards,
	Sven

[PATCH] net: batman-adv: fix error handling

[Pavel Skripkin]

Syzbot reported ODEBUG warning in batadv_nc_mesh_free(). The problem was
in wrong error handling in batadv_mesh_init().

Before this patch batadv_mesh_init() was calling batadv_mesh_free() in case
of any batadv_*_init() calls failure. This approach may work well, when
there is some kind of indicator, which can tell which parts of batadv are
initialized; but there isn't any.

All written above lead to cleaning up uninitialized fields. Even if we hide
ODEBUG warning by initializing bat_priv->nc.work, syzbot was able to hit
GPF in batadv_nc_purge_paths(), because hash pointer in still NULL. [1]

To fix these bugs we can unwind batadv_*_init() calls one by one.
It is good approach for 2 reasons: 1) It fixes bugs on error handling
path 2) It improves the performance, since we won't call unneeded
batadv_*_free() functions.

So, this patch makes all batadv_*_init() clean up all allocated memory
before returning with an error to no call correspoing batadv_*_free()
and open-codes batadv_mesh_free() with proper order to avoid touching
uninitialized fields.

FWIW I'm marking this as "Awaiting upstream" in netdev patchwork,
please LMK if you prefer for it to be applied directly.
