From c3ba37a778ecab4f8ddb117a2ceff3e13184a7db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Sat, 5 Mar 2016 16:09:23 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Use kref_get for batadv_gw_node_add batadv_gw_node_add requires that the caller already has a valid reference for orig_node. It is therefore not possible that it has an reference counter of 0 and was still given to this function The kref_get function instead WARNs (with debug information) when the reference counter would still be 0. This makes a bug in batman-adv better visible because kref_get_unless_zero would have ignored this problem.
