Hi Dan, that looks wrong to me and never was a use after free. sp is set either to the address containing the pointer to the actual D-channel SKB or to the actual B-channel SKB. This address is not freed and will not change in this context. The dev_kfree(*sp) will delete the old SKB and the call to get_next_[bd]frame(), if returning true, will place a new SKB into this address, so (*sp) point to this new SKB. The len of course need to be the length of the new SKB, not the old one, which would be the result of this patch.

You're absolutely right. That's pretty subtle.
