Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH maint] batman-adv: don't access unregistered net_device object
Date: Tue,  4 Aug 2015 22:26:19 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1438719979-15778-1-git-send-email-antonio@meshcoding.com> (raw)

In batadv_hardif_disable_interface() there is a call to
batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() which in turns invokes
unregister_netdevice() on the soft_iface.
After this point we cannot rely on the soft_iface object
anymore because it might get free'd by the netdev periodic
routine at any time.

For this reason the netdev_upper_dev_unlink(.., soft_iface) call
is moved before the invocation of batadv_softif_destroy_sysfs() so
that we can be sure that the soft_iface object is still valid.
