Subject: [PATCH net 02/11] batman-adv: v: stop OGMv2 on disabled interface
Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 13:54:13 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260520115422.53552-3-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260520115422.53552-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

When a batadv_hard_iface is disabled, its mesh_iface pointer is set to
NULL. However, batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() may still dispatch OGMs via
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() for interfaces that have since lost their
mesh_iface association. This results in a NULL pointer dereference when
batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() unconditionally calls netdev_priv() on the
now NULL hard_iface->mesh_iface to retrieve the batadv_priv.

It is necessary to ensure that the batadv_v_ogm_queue_on_if() checks that
it is using the same mesh_iface for which batadv_v_ogm_send_meshif() was
called.
