Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/9] batman-adv: bla: avoid double free after failed backbone_hash alloc
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:45:50 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930094558.3723766-2-sw@simonwunderlich.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930094558.3723766-1-sw@simonwunderlich.de>
From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>
When batadv_bla_init() fails to initialize the backbone_hash, it is freeing
the (previously) allocated claim_hash. The initialization function will
then return an error and the net_device initialization will stop. The
destructor will be called instead and (indirectly via batadv_mesh_free() ->
batadv_bla_free()) will try to free the bat_priv->bla.claim_hash again.
The pointer must therefore be set to NULL after freeing it in the
initialization error path.
