The number of entries filled by batadv_tt_tvlv_generate() can be less than initially expected in batadv_tt_prepare_tvlv_{global,local}_data() (changes can be removed by batadv_tt_local_event() in ADD+DEL sequence in the meantime as the lock held during the whole tvlv global/local data generation).Thus tvlv_len could be bigger than the actual TT entry size that need to be sent so full table TT_RESPONSE could hold invalid TT entries such as below. * 00:00:00:00:00:00 -1 [....] ( 0) 88:12:4e:ad:7e:ba (179) (0x45845380) * 00:00:00:00:78:79 4092 [.W..] ( 0) 88:12:4e:ad:7e:3c (145) (0x8ebadb8b) Remove the extra allocated space to avoid sending uninitialized entries for full table TT_RESPONSE in both batadv_send_other_tt_response() and batadv_send_my_tt_response().

I am wondering if acquiring a lock around the entire section can make sense. Also in this case it would cover the case where we get an ADD in between.
What do you think? Regards, -- Antonio Quartulli
