commit 40e220b4218bb3d278e5e8cc04ccdfd1c7ff8307 upstream. Each slave interface of an B.A.T.M.A.N. IV virtual interface has an OGM packet buffer which is initialized using data from netdevice notifier and other rtnetlink related hooks. It is sent regularly via various slave interfaces of the batadv virtual interface and in this process also modified (realloced) to integrate additional state information via TVLV containers. It must be avoided that the worker item is executed without a common lock with the netdevice notifier/rtnetlink helpers. Otherwise it can either happen that half modified/freed data is sent out or functions modifying the OGM buffer try to access already freed memory regions.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
