This seems very suspicious to me. Lets take a look at this driver.

ehea_xmit3() frees the skb.

Yet, you happily use skb after it... kaboom...

Note: driver already uses skb after its freeing, before your patch.

        if (vlan_tx_tag_present(skb)) {
                swqe->tx_control |= EHEA_SWQE_VLAN_INSERT;
                swqe->vlan_tag = vlan_tx_tag_get(skb);
        }

How can it works ?
