commit ea7361d614c70a74a04c63cd9eaebd0e72aa908a Author: Xiyu Yang xiyuyang19@fudan.edu.cn Date: Wed Apr 15 16:35:21 2020 +0800

batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_store_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_store_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.

The issue happens in one error path of batadv_store_throughput_override(). When batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL, the refcnt increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() is not decreased, causing a refcnt leak.

Fix this issue by jumping to "out" label when batadv_parse_throughput() returns NULL.
