In dev.c's process_backlog, there is code like this:

                dev = skb->dev
                
                netif_receive_skb(skb);

                dev_put(dev);


Do you happen to know what piece of code takes this reference to
the device in the first place?

Also, why not make the code that eventually changes skb->dev to drop
the ref count there?

Thanks,
Ben
