Subject: [B.A.T.M.A.N.] [PATCH v2 9/9] batman-adv: Use kref_get for _batadv_update_route
Date: Sat,  5 Mar 2016 19:05:24 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1457201124-8495-1-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1457190564-11419-9-git-send-email-sven@narfation.org>

_batadv_update_route requires that the caller already has a valid reference
for neigh_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an reference
counter of 0 and was still given to this function

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.
