Subject: batman-adv: hold claim backbone gateways by reference
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=82d8701b2c930d0e96b0dbc9115a218d791cb0d2;p=thirdparty%2Fkernel%2Flinux.git

batman-adv: hold claim backbone gateways by reference

batadv_bla_add_claim() can replace claim->backbone_gw and drop the old
gateway's last reference while readers still follow the pointer.

The netlink claim dump path dereferences claim->backbone_gw->orig and
takes claim->backbone_gw->crc_lock without pinning the underlying
backbone gateway. batadv_bla_check_claim() still has the same naked
pointer access pattern.

Reuse batadv_bla_claim_get_backbone_gw() in both readers so they operate
on a stable gateway reference until the read-side work is complete.
This keeps the dump and claim-check paths aligned with the lifetime
rules introduced for the other BLA claim readers.

Fixes: 04f3f5bf1883 ("batman-adv: add B.A.T.M.A.N. Dump BLA claims via netlink")
