commit 439030821e5db7241857e3eaebb4263562e5c615 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sat Mar 5 19:05:24 2016 +0100
batman-adv: Use kref_get for _batadv_update_route
_batadv_update_route requires that the caller already has a valid reference for neigh_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an reference counter of 0 and was still given to this function
The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.
