Can you file a bug in bugzilla so we can track this? It seems to be a
firmware problem that we'll have to investigate.  We have instructions
on how to report here:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/debugging

It would be nice if you could enable firmware debugging so that, if
this happens again, we'll have the appropriate FW logs to investigate
it further.  There are instructions on how to enable it in the
"Firmware Debugging" section of that wiki page.

Please make sure you read and understand the privacy aspects of
submitting firmware debugging data, as explained here:

I recommend that you update your firmware to the latest version
(iwlwifi-7260-17.ucode) published in linux-firmware.git:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git

While I'm not sure the issue you saw is solved by that, we do have lots
of other fixes in it that are worth the effort.

I hadn't seen this for a while.  This is something related to the TX
queues and could have many different causes...

Thanks for reporting!
