4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Sven Eckelmann <sven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit a25bab9d723a08bd0bdafb1529faf9094c690b70 ] The per hardif sysfs file "batman_adv/elp_interval" is using the generic functions to store/show uint values. The helper __batadv_store_uint_attr requires the softif net_device as parameter to print the resulting change as info text when the users writes to this file. It uses the helper function batadv_info to add it at the same time to the kernel ring buffer and to the batman-adv debug log (when CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG is enabled). The function batadv_info requires as first parameter the batman-adv softif net_device. This parameter is then used to find the private buffer which contains the debug log for this batman-adv interface. But batadv_store_throughput_override used as first argument the slave net_device. This slave device doesn't have the batadv_priv private data which is access by batadv_info. Writing to this file with CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_DEBUG enabled can either lead to a segfault or to memory corruption.
