Hi,

looks like the patch is broken (at least it does something different than the 
non-stable patch does).

It seems to be a problem with the way GNU patch solved the conflicts with the 
slightly different orig file (moved the hunks together when it shouldn't 
have). GregKH also had this problem [1]

Yes, I recognise this bug.  I've updated this patch to the version below.

batman-adv: Fix broadcast/ogm queue limit on a removed interface

commit c4fdb6cff2aa0ae740c5f19b6f745cbbe786d42f upstream.

When removing a single interface while a broadcast or ogm packet is
still pending then we will free the forward packet without releasing the
queue slots again.

This patch is supposed to fix this issue.

One of the nice things about standards is that there are so many of
them.
