    batman-adv: Fix refcnt leak in batadv_show_throughput_override · f872de81
    Xiyu Yang authored
    batadv_show_throughput_override() invokes batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev(),
    which gets a batadv_hard_iface object from net_dev with increased refcnt
    and its reference is assigned to a local pointer 'hard_iface'.
    
    When batadv_show_throughput_override() returns, "hard_iface" becomes
    invalid, so the refcount should be decreased to keep refcount balanced.
    
    The issue happens in the normal path of
    batadv_show_throughput_override(), which forgets to decrease the refcnt
    increased by batadv_hardif_get_by_netdev() before the function returns,
    causing a refcnt leak.
    
    Fix this issue by calling batadv_hardif_put() before the
    batadv_show_throughput_override() returns in the normal path.
    
    Fixes: 0b5ecc68 ("batman-adv: add throughput override attribute to hard_ifaces")
