[PATCH 3.13 071/172] batman-adv: avoid double free when orig_node initialization fails

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 04 2014 - 16:14:41 EST


3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit a5a5cb8cab526af2f6cbe9715f8ca843192f0d81 ]

In the failure path of the orig_node initialization routine
the orig_node->bat_iv.bcast_own field is free'd twice: first
in batadv_iv_ogm_orig_get() and then later in
batadv_orig_node_free_rcu().

Fix it by removing the kfree in batadv_iv_ogm_orig_get().
