It is therefore not possible that an item in tvlv.container_list has an reference counter of 0 and is still in the list 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.
