Ok thanks. I'll change it.

Argh... Indeed.

In this case I should avoid using netdev context, i.e. pointer to "struct
kvaser_usb_net_priv" in urb callbacks.
Is that what you mean?
I see it is well done in kvaser_usb_read_bulk_callback()
but not in kvaser_usb_write_bulk_callback().
I'll better protect the callbacks and move the free_candev after the
unlink.

Thank you,
