    batman-adv: fix splat on disabling an interface · 9799c503
    Linus Lüssing authored
    As long as there is still a reference for a hard interface held, there might
    still be a forwarding packet relying on its attributes.
    
    Therefore avoid setting hard_iface->soft_iface to NULL when disabling a hard
    interface.
    
    This fixes the following, potential splat:
    
        batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: eth1
        batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: eth1
        cgroup: new mount options do not match the existing superblock, will be ignored
        batman_adv: bat0: Interface deactivated: eth3
        batman_adv: bat0: Removing interface: eth3

    What happened here is, that there was still a forw_packet (here: a BATMAN IV
    OGM) in the queue of eth3 with the forw_packet->if_incoming set to eth1 and the
    forw_packet->if_outgoing set to eth3.
    
    When eth3 is to be deactivated and removed, then this thread waits for the
    forw_packet queued on eth3 to finish. Because eth1 was deactivated and removed
    earlier and by that had forw_packet->if_incoming->soft_iface, set to NULL, the
    splat when trying to send/flush the OGM on eth3 occures.
