    batman-adv: Drop immediate batadv_hard_iface free function · b4d922cf
    Sven Eckelmann authored
    It is not allowed to free the memory of an object which is part of a list
    which is protected by rcu-read-side-critical sections without making sure
    that no other context is accessing the object anymore. This usually happens
    by removing the references to this object and then waiting until the rcu
    grace period is over and no one (allowedly) accesses it anymore.
    
    But the _now functions ignore this completely. They free the object
    directly even when a different context still tries to access it. This has
    to be avoided and thus these functions must be removed and all functions
    have to use batadv_hardif_free_ref.
