By going to out_nodev, dev_put() never gets called as it should.

Chris,

Why did you remove 'goto out_putdev'? If 'fcoe = 
fcoe_hostlist_lookup_port(netdev);' fails you will need to decrement the 
netdev reference which was incremented by fcoe_netdev_if_to_ndetdev(). 
To see the issue try this, 'modprobe fcoe; fcoeadm -d ethx; rmmod ixgbe' 
note ixgbe is waiting for ethx to become free.

Thanks,
John.
