From 42eff6a617e23b691f8e4467f4687ed7245a92db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 12:06:20 +0100 Subject: batman-adv: Drop immediate orig_node free function It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore. But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions have to use batadv_orig_node_free_ref.
