This series fix three bugs which all have the same root cause. When calling netif_rx(skb) and its variants, the skb will eventually get consumed (or freed) and thus it is unsafe to dereference it after the call returns. This remark especially applies to any variable with aliases the skb memory which is the case of the can(fd)_frame. The pattern is as this: skb = alloc_can_skb(dev, &cf); /* Do stuff */ netif_rx(skb); stats->rx_bytes += cf->len; Increasing the stats should be done *before* the call to netif_rx() while the skb is still safe to use. Changes since v1: - fix a silly typo in patch 2/3 (variable len was declared twice...)

Please ignore this message, there will be a v3 rebased on net/master.
I thought something like this. Please go ahead. I'll wait for your v3.
And sorry for the noise.
