Allow me to give some background info: The bug was (accidentally) fixed by a refactoring patch [1] in net-next. But the problem was then discovered by people which used net and not net-next. I have created a bugfix [2] which would solve the problem in net but wouldn't apply in net-next. This is why Antonio asked if he should send it to stable@ or if there is a better way to get it integrated. Kind regards, Sven [1] https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next.git/commit/net/batman-adv?id=efcc9d3069c982786f380bca8480a1aa2fd2721d [2] https://git.open-mesh.org/linux-merge.git/commit/af06cf325cfb5a2685a6f8997585b83a91f36c4c
