Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] Use of ref_get_unless_zero() ?

Hi

I'm sometimes getting a crash after removing a hard interface when the
batadv_send_outstanding_bat_org_packet() is called in a work queue.
It calls

static void batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new(const unsigned char *packet_buff,
                                        int packet_len, unsigned long send_time,
                                        bool direct_link,
                                        struct batadv_hard_iface *if_incoming,
                                        struct batadv_hard_iface *if_outgoing,
                                        int own_packet)
{
        struct batadv_priv *bat_priv = netdev_priv(if_incoming->soft_iface);
        struct batadv_forw_packet *forw_packet_aggr;
        unsigned char *skb_buff;
        unsigned int skb_size;

        if (!kref_get_unless_zero(&if_incoming->refcount))
                return;

        if (!kref_get_unless_zero(&if_outgoing->refcount))
                goto out_free_incoming;


Given that we have:

static inline void batadv_hardif_put(struct batadv_hard_iface *hard_iface)
{
        kref_put(&hard_iface->refcount, batadv_hardif_release);
}

does using kref_get_unless_zero() make sense? If it is zero, hasn't it
been freed by the kref_put that set it to zero?

Thanks
	Andrew
