Command buffers (skb's) are allocated by the main driver, and freed upon the last use. That last use is often in mwifiex_free_cmd_buffer(). In the meantime, if the command buffer gets used by the PCI driver, we map it as DMA-able, and store the mapping information in the 'cb' memory. However, if a command was in-flight when resetting the device (and therefore was still mapped), we don't get a chance to unmap this memory until after the core has cleaned up its command handling. Let's keep a refcount within the PCI driver, so we ensure the memory only gets freed after we've finished unmapping it. Noticed by KASAN when forcing a reset via: echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/.../reset The same code path can presumably be exercised in remove() and shutdown().
