The shutdown of an batman-adv interface can happen with one of its slave interfaces still being in the BATADV_IF_TO_BE_ACTIVATED state. A possible reason for it is that the routing algorithm BATMAN_V was selected and batadv_schedule_bat_ogm was not yet called for this interface. This slave interface still has to be set to BATADV_IF_INACTIVE or the batman-adv interface will never reduce its usage counter and thus never gets shutdown.
This problem can be simulated via:
$ modprobe dummy $ modprobe batman-adv routing_algo=BATMAN_V $ ip link add bat0 type batadv $ ip link set dummy0 master bat0 $ ip link set dummy0 up $ ip link del bat0 unregister_netdevice: waiting for bat0 to become free. Usage count = 3
