Anyway, "urb->transfer_buffer" was initialized with

and I'm pretty damn sure you're supposed to just kfree() it.

eh? I would think dev_kfree_skb(), because who knows whether the skb was cloned, split, data buffer adjusted, destructors need to be called...

kfree()ing skb->data sounds like a recipe for corruption and crashes...
