The neigh_list with batadv_hardif_neigh_node objects is accessed with only rcu_read_lock in batadv_neigh_node_get and batadv_iv_neigh_print. Thus it is not allowed to kfree the object before the rcu grace period ends (which may still protects context accessing this object). Therefore the object has first to be removed from the neigh_list and then it has either wait with synchronize_rcu or call_rcu till the grace period ends before it can be freed.
Fixes: fed2826b490c ("batman-adv: add list of unique single hop neighbors per hard-interface") Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org --- v2: - split patchset into fixes and kref migration to make it easier when the decision is made where each patch will be applied
