OK, agreed. But fixing it in the driver is still incorrect, also.
We need a single solution in the net stack, not a per-driver solution.
I totally disagree.
Let's quickly review, this is illegal:
You're missing the point.
Think about the name of this function: dev_kfree_skb_any()
If this function cannot be used -anywhere-, then the concept (and the
net stack) is fundamentally broken for this function. We must _remove_
the function, and thus _I_ have a lot of driver work to do.

xargs grep -wl dev_kfree_skb_any | wc -l
