Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org --- v5: - add hack which allows to compile against stable kernel like 3.2.44 which also added the kref_get_unless_zero function v4: - fix function names in commit messages - fix double whitespace in batadv_tt_orig_list_entry_release kerneldoc - add extra patch for batadv_claim_free_ref kerneldoc fix - change the phrase "free it" in all *_free_ref/*_put functions to "release it" v3: - update copyright year v2: - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the decision is made where each patch will be applied
