can_rx_register callbacks may be called concurrently to the call to can_rx_unregister. The callbacks and callback data, though, are protected by RCU and the struct sock reference count. So the callback data is really attached to the life of sk, meaning that it should be released on sk_destruct. However, bcm_remove_op calls tasklet_kill, and RCU callbacks may be called under RCU softirq, so that cannot be used on kernels before the introduction of HRTIMER_MODE_SOFT. However, bcm_rx_handler is called under RCU protection, so after calling can_rx_unregister, we may call synchronize_rcu in order to wait for any RCU read-side critical sections to finish. That is, bcm_rx_handler won't be called anymore for those ops. So, we only free them, after we do that synchronize_rcu.
