Subject: [PATCH 5.10 10/23] batman-adv: prevent ELP transmission interval underflow
Date: Fri, 26 Jun 2026 18:09:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260626160952.123713-11-sven@narfation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260626160952.123713-1-sven@narfation.org>

commit 5e50d4b8ae3ea622122d3c6a38d7f6fe68dfddca upstream.

batadv_v_elp_start_timer() enqeues a delayed work. The time when it starts
is randomly chosen between (elp_interval - BATADV_JITTER) and
(elp_interval + BATADV_JITTER). The configured elp_interval must therefore
be larger or equal to BATADV_JITTER to avoid that it causes an underflow of
the unsigned integer. If this would happen, then a "fast" ELP interval
would turn into a "day long" delay.

At the same time, it must not be larger than the maximum value the variable
can store.
