From 690bb6fb64f5dc7437317153902573ecad67593d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann sven@narfation.org Date: Mon, 28 Feb 2022 00:01:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] batman-adv: Request iflink once in batadv-on-batadv check
There is no need to call dev_get_iflink multiple times for the same net_device in batadv_is_on_batman_iface. And since some of the .ndo_get_iflink callbacks are dynamic (for example via RCUs like in vxcan_get_iflink), it could easily happen that the returned values are not stable. The pre-checks before __dev_get_by_index are then of course bogus.
