Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: avoid NULL dereferences and fix if check
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2014 18:22:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1411230125-21848-1-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com> (raw)

Gateway having bandwidth_down equal to zero are not accepted
at all and so never added to the Gateway list.
For this reason checking the bandwidth_down member in
batadv_gw_out_of_range() is useless.

This is probably a copy/paste error and this check was supposed
to be "!gw_node" only. Moreover, the way the check is written
now may also lead to a NULL dereference.

Fix this by rewriting the if-condition properly.

Introduced by 0853ec7fafe0a195754454832993c6b35e22b842
("batman-adv: tvlv - gateway download/upload bandwidth container")

This patch makes "batman-adv: avoid NULL dereferences and clarify if check"
obsolete.
