This is 3.14.6+ kernel with a fair bit of networking related patches applied, so could be my fault. The system has 3 ath9k NICs, one NIC in use with 200 station vdevs. A script bounces the vdevs every 10 seconds or so. TCP traffic is generated on the interfaces if they manage to come up for any length of time. This was left running over-night, and crashed with the splat below. I'm mainly curious if anyone else has seen anything similar.
