Hi Emmanuel, The kernel compiled from commit b35032f ("iwlwifi: don't configure a txq that is being disabled") in git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.git master triggers a kernel oops below. That particular commit may well not be the root cause. I'm just hoping you may have better idea which recent change may be relevant.
