Hi David,

these are the fixes that couldn't make it for linux-4.6 rebased on top
of net-next.

They were all supposed to be applied on 4.6, therefore it would be nice
if you could queue them for inclusion in the 4.6.1 stable release.

Please pull or let me know of any problem!


I also have a question: I have another bugfix that should only be
applied to 4.6 and not to 4.7/net-next - should I directly send it
to stable@...r.kernel.org ?


Thanks a lot,
	Antonio

  batman-adv: initialize ELP orig address on secondary interfaces (2016-05-18 11:49:44 +0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
During the Wireless Battle Mesh v9 in Porto (PT) at the beginning of
May, we managed to uncover and fix some important bugs in our
new B.A.T.M.A.N. V algorithm. These are the fixes we came up with
together with others that I collected in the past weeks:
- avoid potential crash due to NULL pointer dereference in
  B.A.T.M.A.N. V routine when a neigh_ifinfo object is not found, by
  Sven Eckelmann
- avoid use-after-free of skb when counting outgoing bytes, by Florian
  Westphal
- fix neigh_ifinfo object reference counting imbalance when using
  B.A.T.M.A.N. V, by Sven Eckelmann. Such imbalance may lead to the
  impossibility of releasing the related netdev object on shutdown
- avoid invalid memory access in case of error while allocating
  bcast_own_sum when a new hard-interface is added, by Sven Eckelmann
- ensure originator address is updated in OMG/ELP packet content upon
  primary interface address change, by Antonio Quartulli
- fix integer overflow when computing TQ metric (B.A.T.M.A.N. IV), by
  Sven Eckelmann
- avoid race condition while adding new neigh_node which would result
  in having two objects mapping to the same physical neighbour, by
  Linus Lüssing
- ensure originator address is initialized in ELP packet content on
  secondary interfaces, by Marek Lindner
