The functions batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_local_data and
batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_global_data are responsible for preparing a buffer
which can be used to store the TVLV container for TT and add the VLAN
information to it.
This will be done in three phases:
1. count the number of VLANs and their entries
2. allocate the buffer using the counters from the previous step and limits
from the caller (parameter tt_len)
3. insert the VLAN information to the buffer
The step 1 and 3 operate on a list which contains the VLANs. The access to
these lists must be protected with an appropriate lock or otherwise they
might operate on on different entries. This could for example happen when
another context is adding VLAN entries to this list.
This could lead to a buffer overflow in these functions when enough entries
were added between step 1 and 3 to the VLAN lists that the buffer room for
the entries (*tt_change) is smaller then the now required extra buffer for
new VLAN entries.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
