Hello,
Any kernel debugging tips involving stack corruption? :)
When testing a secure mesh topology in qemu using mac80211_hwsim with
master-2011-11-09 I get a hard lockup, but no OOPS. gdb was able to
show:

I've narrowed this down to 077a9154898b374f20555adc3f620cccd02581d6 "
mac80211: support adding IV-room in the skb for CCMP keys". Not sure
how this will affect encryption under mac80211_hwsim, but hopefully
this is useful to someone more knowledgeable.
Thanks!
Thomas
