The following commit has been merged in the batadv/net-next branch: commit ffc15626c861f811f9778914be004fcf43810a91 Author: Markus Elfring elfring@users.sourceforge.net Date: Tue Jan 2 07:27:45 2024 +0100

batman-adv: Return directly after a failed batadv_dat_select_candidates() in batadv_dat_forward_data()

The kfree() function was called in one case by the batadv_dat_forward_data() function during error handling even if the passed variable contained a null pointer. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

* Thus return directly after a batadv_dat_select_candidates() call failed at the beginning.

* Delete the label “out” which became unnecessary with this refactoring.
