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
