    The function batadv_tvlv_handler_register is responsible for adding new
    tvlv_handler to the handler_list. It first checks whether the entry
    already is in the list or not. If it is, then the creation of a new entry
    is aborted.

    But the lock for the list is only held when the list is really modified.
    This could lead to duplicated entries because another context could create
    an entry with the same key between the check and the list manipulation.

    The check and the manipulation of the list must therefore be in the same
    locked code section.

  • It is hard to understand why the refcnt is increased when it isn't done
    near the actual place the new reference is used. So using kref_get right
    before the place which requires the reference and in the same function
    helps to avoid accidental problems caused by incorrect reference counting.

  • The tvlv functionality in main.c is mostly unrelated to the rest of the
    content. It still takes up a large portion of this source file (~45%, 588
    lines). Moving it to a separate file makes it better visible as a main
    component of the batman-adv implementation and hides it less in the other
    helper functions in main.c
