[PATCH] fix: net/batman-adv: batadv_interface_kill_vid: extra batadv_meshif_vlan_put after destroy

From: WenTao Liang <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-27 03:47:05
Also in: batman, lkml, stable
Subsystem: batman advanced, the rest · Maintainers: Marek Lindner, Simon Wunderlich, Antonio Quartulli, Sven Eckelmann, Linus Torvalds

In batadv_interface_kill_vid(), batadv_meshif_vlan_get() acquires a
reference on the vlan object. batadv_meshif_destroy_vlan() internally
calls batadv_meshif_vlan_put() which balances that reference. However, an
additional batadv_meshif_vlan_put(vlan) is called after
batadv_meshif_destroy_vlan(), causing a refcount underflow and potential
use-after-free of the vlan object.

Remove the extra batadv_meshif_vlan_put(vlan) call.
