Ok.  I'm trying to hack slub to give me a better stack trace of where
the skb was deleted.  If that doesn't turn up anything obvious, then
I'll go read up on hwsim.

Are you aware of any DMA issues that might cause ath9k to write into
places it should not?  Previously, I've seen a lot of errors in
the logs about ath9k not being able to stop DMA in time, but I haven't
seen those while reproducing the memory corruption.


Thanks,
Ben
