- pptr = &((*pptr)->next);
- }
+ br_fdb_delete_by_port(p->br, p);

- br_fdb_delete_by_port(br, p);
- kfree(p);
- dev_put(dev);

- return 0;
+ /* defer actual free till after receive BH has completed */
+ call_rcu(&p->rcu, (void (*)(void *)) kfree, p);
}

Missing dev_put? Perhaps you'd want to register a callback which also
decrements the reference count.
