I'm too lazy to look for myself, and will ask here. How does Debian generate
their source? Do they cherry pick patches from upstream? If so, then they pulled
in the changed behavior in mac80211 that triggered the bug. I ran more than 2000
insmod/rmmod cycles with vanilla 2.6.31 from Linus's tree without seeing a
single failure.
I will, however, send the patch to Greg K-H for inclusion in 2.6.31.Y.
