When trying to associate a net_device with another net_device which already exists, batman-adv assumes that this interface is a fully initialized batman mesh interface without checking it. The behaviour when accessing data behind netdev_priv of a random net_device is undefined and potentially dangerous.

Linus, can you confirm this patch fixes the problem for you ?

Thanks, Marek

Yep, works as expected, thanks Sven!

"Can't create batman mesh interface interface %s:" -> there's one 'interface' too much though

Cheers, Linus
