commit f301bfed59b146a63471d0f147b767d7cafede6f Author: Xiyu Yang xiyuyang19@fudan.edu.cn Date: Wed Apr 15 16:31:50 2020 +0800

batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_show_throughput_override

batadv_show_throughput_override() invokes batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev(), which gets a batadv_hard_iface object from net_dev with increased refcnt and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.

When batadv_show_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The issue happens in the normal path of batadv_show_throughput_override(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() before the function returns, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by calling batadv_hardif_put() before the batadv_show_throughput_override() returns in the normal path.
