Sven Eckelmann says: ==================== batman-adv: Fixes for Linux 4.7 Antonio currently seems to be occupied. This is currently rather unfortunate because there are patches waiting in the batman-adv development repository maint(enance) branch [1] since up to 6 weeks. I am now getting asked when these patches will hit the distribution kernels and therefore decided to submit these patches directly to netdev. The patch from Simon works around the problem that warnings could be triggered in the translation table code via packets using a VLAN not configured on the target host. This warning was replaced with a rate limited info message. Ben Hutchings found an superfluous batadv_softif_vlan_put in the error handling code of the translation table while he backported the "batman-adv: Fix reference counting of vlan object for tt_local_entry" patch to the stable kernels. He noticed correctly that this batadv_softif_vlan_put should also have been removed by the said patch. The most requested fix at the moment is related to a double free in the translation table code. It is a race condition which mostly happens on systems with multiple cores and multiple network interface attached to batman-adv. Two Freifunk communities which were haunted by weird crashes (with backtraces reporting problems in other parts of the kernel) were kind enough to test this patch. They reported that there systems are now running stable after applying this patch. An invalid memory access was detected in the batadv_icmp_packet_rr handling code when receiving a skbuff with fragments. The last patch is fixing a memory leak when the interface is removed via .dellink. The code to fix it was copied from the code handling the legacy sysfs interface to remove netdevices from a batman-adv netdevice. There are still 28 patches in the development tree for v4.8 but I will leave them to Antonio because these are cleanups and features and therefore for net- next. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
