commit 94cb82f594ed86be303398d6dfc7640a6f1d45d4 upstream.
The function batadv_softif_vlan_get is responsible for adding new softif_vlan to the softif_vlan_list. It first checks whether the entry already is in the list or not. If it is, then the creation of a new entry is aborted.
But the lock for the list is only held when the list is really modified. This could lead to duplicated entries because another context could create an entry with the same key between the check and the list manipulation.
The check and the manipulation of the list must therefore be in the same locked code section.
