The following commit has been merged in the master branch: commit f7157dd135012d9e9b4d74a9f8b2426ea92131f8 Author: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Sat Jan 16 10:29:48 2016 +0100

batman-adv: Convert batadv_tvlv_container to kref

batman-adv uses a self-written reference implementation which is just based on atomic_t. This is less obvious when reading the code than kref and therefore increases the change that the reference counting will be missed.
