I did find a similar crash while debugging a kernel with just symbols

Doesn't seem all that similar...

The interesting thing to me is that the 00100104 address is the same in
both crashes, though this one is in a different method.

except for that maybe. But this is LIST_POISON1, and with seemingly
different lists. It may be faster to reproduce if you enable slab/slub
debugging.

Also, this is with power-save NOT disabled (I was hoping to
hit some debugging code I put in for the other crash..hit this instead.)

Oct  4 15:26:15 localhost kernel: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00100104
Oct  4 15:26:15 localhost kernel: IP: [<fc77e038>] cfg80211_unlink_bss+0x4d/0x8d [cfg80211]

Looks like a mac80211 bug, but you snipped the stack trace.

I'll apply your deadlock-fix patch, enable slab debugging, and have another go
at it today.

Thanks!
Ben
