+When the MAC address of the primary interface is changed,
+update the originator address in the ELP and OGM skb buffers as
+well in order to reflect the change.

+MIME-Version: 1.0

+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Two parallel calls to batadv_neigh_node_new() might race for creating
+and adding the same neig_node. Fix this by including the check for any
+already existing, identical neigh_node within the spin-lock.
+
+This fixes splats like the following:

+Subject: [PATCH 3/6] batman-adv: Avoid nullptr derefence in
+ batadv_v_neigh_is_sob
+
+batadv_neigh_ifinfo_get can return NULL when it cannot find (even when only
+temporarily) anymore the neigh_ifinfo in the list neigh->ifinfo_list. This
+has to be checked to avoid kernel Oopses when the ifinfo is dereferenced.
+
+This a situation which isn't expected but is already handled by functions
+like batadv_v_neigh_cmp. The same kind of warning is therefore used before
+the function returns without dereferencing the pointers.

+Subject: [PATCH 5/6] batman-adv: Fix double neigh_node_put in
+ batadv_v_ogm_route_update
+
+The router is put down twice when it was non-NULL and either orig_ifinfo is
+NULL afterwards or batman-adv receives a packet with the same sequence
+number. This will end up in a use-after-free when the batadv_neigh_node is
+removed because the reference counter ended up too early at 0.

+From f58a0b03873fd3aa9568c11af198f997ed2208cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
+Date: Sat, 7 May 2016 19:54:17 +0800
+Subject: [PATCH 6/6] batman-adv: initialize ELP orig address on secondary
+ interfaces
+
+This fix prevents nodes to wrongly create a 00:00:00:00:00:00 originator
+which can potentially interfere with the rest of the neighbor statistics.
+
+Fixes: a4b88af77e28 ("batman-adv: ELP - adding basic infrastructure")
+Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner <mareklindner@neomailbox.ch>
