# \[PATCH 08/17\] batman-adv: Increase hard\_iface refcnt for ptype - From: Antonio Quartulli \ - Date: 2016-05-10 19:31:09 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2016/05/11018136 ```text From: Sven Eckelmann The hard_iface is referenced in the packet_type for batman-adv. Increase the refcounter of the hard_interface for it to have an explicit reference for it in case this functionality gets refactorted and the currently used implicit reference for it will be removed.
