From: Kamal Mostafa
Date: Wed Jan 28 2015 - 22:05:09 EST


3.13.11-ckt15 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 0d1644919578db525b9a7b6c8197ce02adbfce26 ]

Gateway having bandwidth_down equal to zero are not accepted
at all and so never added to the Gateway list.
For this reason checking the bandwidth_down member in
batadv_gw_out_of_range() is useless.

This is probably a copy/paste error and this check was supposed
to be "!gw_node" only. Moreover, the way the check is written
now may also lead to a NULL dereference.

Fix this by rewriting the if-condition properly.
