The bla.num_requests is increased when no request_sent was in progress. And
it is decremented in various places (announcement was received, backbone is
purged, periodic work). But the check if the request_sent is actually set
to a specific state and the atomic_dec/_inc are not safe because they are
not atomic (TOCTOU) and multiple such code portions can run concurrently.
At the same time, it is necessary to modify request_sent (state) and
bla.num_requests atomically. Otherwise batadv_bla_send_request() might set
request_sent to 1 and is interrupted. batadv_handle_announce() can then
set request_sent back to 0 and decrement num_requests before
batadv_bla_send_request() incremented it.
The two operations must therefore be locked. And since state (request_sent)
and wait_periods are only accessed inside this lock, they can be converted
to simpler datatypes. And to avoid that the bla.num_requests is touched by
a parallel running context with a valid backbone_gw reference after
batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw() ran, a third state "stopped" is required to
correctly signal that a backbone_gw is in the state of being cleaned up.

batadv_bla_purge_backbone_gw() removes stale backbone gateway entries,
but fails to properly handle their associated report_work:
- If report_work is running, the purge must wait for it to finish before
freeing the backbone_gw, otherwise the worker may access freed memory
(e.g. bat_priv).
- If report_work is pending, the purge must cancel it and release the
reference held for that pending work item.
The previous implementation called hlist_for_each_entry_safe() inside a
spin_lock_bh() section, but cancel_work_sync() may sleep and therefore
cannot be called from within a spinlock-protected region.
Restructure the loop to handle one entry per spinlock critical section:
acquire the lock, find the next entry to purge, remove it from the hash
list, then release the lock before calling cancel_work_sync() and
dropping the hash_entry reference. Repeat until no more entries require
purging.

When batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() fails to allocate and queue a forward
packet for OGM transmission, the work item that drives periodic OGM
scheduling is never re-armed. This silently halts transmission of the
node's own OGMs on the affected interface — only OGMs from other peers
continue to be aggregated and forwarded.
Fix this by tracking whether batadv_iv_ogm_queue_add() (and transitively
batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate_new()) successfully scheduled a forward packet.
When scheduling fails, batadv_iv_ogm_schedule_buff() falls back to queuing
a dedicated recovery work item (reschedule_work) that fires after one

batadv_mcast_purge_orig() removes entries from RCU-protected hlists but

Session lookups in tp_list matched only on destination address (and
optionally session ID), leaving role validation to the caller. If two
sessions with the same other_end coexisted (one as sender, one as receiver)
a lookup could silently return the wrong one, causing the caller's role to
bail out early, potentially skipping necessary cleanup.
Move the role check into the lookup functions themselves so the correct
entry is always returned, or none at all. Since batadv_tp_start()
legitimately needs to detect any active session to a destination regardless
of role, introduce a dedicated helper for that case rather than bending the

batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() previously used two separate variables to track
session state: sending (an atomic flag indicating whether the session was
active) and reason (a plain enum storing the stop reason). This introduced
a race window between the two writes: after sending was cleared to 0,
batadv_tp_send() could observe the stopped state and call
batadv_tp_sender_end() before reason was written, causing the wrong stop
reason to be reported to the caller.

batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append() builds a TVLV packet section from
the tvlv.container_list. The total size of this section is computed by
batadv_tvlv_container_list_size(), which sums the sizes of all registered
containers.
The return type and accumulator in batadv_tvlv_container_list_size() were
u16. If the accumulated size exceeds U16_MAX, the value wraps around,
causing the subsequent allocation in batadv_tvlv_container_ogm_append()
to be undersized. The memcpy-style copy that follows would then write
beyond the end of the allocated buffer, corrupting kernel memory.
Fix this by widening the return type of batadv_tvlv_container_list_size()

against U16_MAX before proceeding, and bail out as if the allocation had

batadv_tp_sender_cleanup() was calling timer_delete_sync() followed by
timer_delete() to guard against the timer handler re-arming itself between
the two calls. This double-deletion hack relied on the sending status being
set to 0 to suppress re-arming.
Replace both calls with a single timer_shutdown_sync(). This function both
waits for any running timer callback to complete (like timer_delete_sync())
and permanently disarms the timer so it cannot be re-armed afterwards,
making re-arming prevention unconditional and self-documenting.
The re-arming property is also required because otherwise:
1. context 0 (batadv_tp_recv_ack()) checks in
batadv_tp_reset_sender_timer() if sending is still 1 -> it is
2. context 1 changes in batadv_tp_sender_shutdown() sending to 0 and in

length state, leading to a local denial of service.

The local TT based TVLV is generated by first checking the number of VLANs
which have at least one TT entry. A new buffer with the correct size for
the VLANs is then allocated. Only then, the list of VLANs s used to fill
the VLAN entries in the buffer. During this time, the meshif_vlan_list_lock
is held. But the actual number of TT entries of each VLAN can still
increase during this time - just not the number of VLANs in the list.
But the prefilter used in the buffer size calculation might still cause an
increase of the number of VLANs which need to be stored. Simply because a
VLAN might now suddenly have at least one entry when it had none in the
pre-alloc check - and then needs to occupy space which was not allocated.
It is better to overestimate the buffer size at the beginning and then fill

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.

batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() builds the allocation length for a
global TT response in 16-bit temporaries. When a remote originator
advertises a large enough global TT, the TT payload length plus the VLAN
header offset can exceed 65535 and wrap before kmalloc().
The full-table response path still uses the original TT payload length when
it fills tt_change, so the wrapped allocation is too small and
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data() writes past the end of the heap object
before the later packet-size check runs.
Fix this by rejecting TT responses whose TVLV value length cannot fit in
the 16-bit TVLV payload length field.

When OGM aggregation state is toggled at runtime, an existing forwarded
packet may have been allocated with only packet_len bytes, while a later
packet can still be selected for aggregation. Appending in this case can
hit skb_put overflow conditions.
Reject aggregation when the target skb tailroom cannot accommodate the new
packet. The caller then falls back to creating a new forward packet
instead of appending.

batadv_v_elp_get_throughput() might be called when the RTNL lock is already
held. This could be problematic when the work queue item is cancelled via
cancel_delayed_work_sync() in batadv_v_elp_iface_disable(). In this case,
an rtnl_lock() would cause a deadlock.
To avoid this, rtnl_trylock() was used in this function to skip the
retrieval of the ethtool information in case the RTNL lock was already
held.
But for cfg80211 interfaces, batadv_get_real_netdev() was called - which
also uses rtnl_lock(). The approach for __ethtool_get_link_ksettings() must
also be used instead and the lockless version __batadv_get_real_netdev()
has to be called.

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:
Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)
Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)
Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)
(where TYPE may also be *VAR)
The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

Make batadv_bla_check_duplist() just use the new function skb_crc32c(),
instead of calling skb_seq_read() with crc32c(). This is faster and
simpler.

Trying to dump the originators or the neighbors via netlink for a meshif
with an inactive primary interface is not allowed. The dump functions were
checking this correctly but they didn't handle non-existing primary
interfaces and existing _inactive_ interfaces differently.
(Primary) batadv_hard_ifaces hold a references to a net_device. And
accessing them is only allowed when either being in a RCU/spinlock
protected section or when holding a valid reference to them. The netlink
dump functions use the latter.
But because the missing specific error handling for inactive primary
interfaces, the reference was never dropped. This reference counting error
was only detected when the interface should have been removed from the
system:

It is not necessary to include the header for the struct definition for an
"extern " declaration. It can simply be dropped from the headers to reduce
the number of includes the preprocessor has to process. If needed, it can
be added to the actual C source file.

The Network Coding feature, introduced in 2013, is based on the master
thesis "Inter-Flow Network Coding for Wireless Mesh Networks". It relies on
the assumption that neighboring mesh nodes can reliably overhear each
other's transmissions in promiscuous mode, allowing packets to be combined
to reduce forwarding overhead.
This assumption no longer holds for modern wireless mesh networks, which
are heterogeneous and make overhearing increasingly unreliable. Factors
such as multiple spatial streams, varying data rates, beamforming, and
OFDMA all prevent nodes from consistently overhearing each other. The current
implementation in batman-adv is not able to detect these conditions and would
require a more complex layer beyond its neighbor discovery process to do so.
In addition, the feature has been unmaintained for years and is discouraged
for use. None of the current maintainers have the required test
setup to verify its functionality, and known issues remain in its data
structures (reference counting, RCU usage, and cleanup handling). Its
continued presence also blocks necessary refactoring of the core originator
infrastructure.
Remove this obsolete and unmaintained feature.
