From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> 3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. =============== [ Upstream commit 377fe0f968b30a1a714fab53a908061914f30e26 ] A pointer to the orig_node representing a bat-gateway is stored in the gw_node->orig_node member, but the refcount for such orig_node is never increased. This leads to memory faults when gw_node->orig_node is accessed and the originator has already been freed. Fix this by increasing the refcount on gw_node creation and decreasing it on gw_node free.
