[PATCH 12/17] batman-adv: Use kref_get for batadv_gw_node_add

From: Antonio Quartulli <hidden>
Date: 2016-05-10 19:39:31
Also in: batman
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@narfation.org>

batadv_gw_node_add requires that the caller already has a valid reference
for orig_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an reference
counter of 0 and was still given to this function

The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the
reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better
visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.
