That truly sounds like something we'd rather avoid in the TX/RX
paths though, which should perform well.
didn't fix.
It couldn't, since the new helpers weren't used in mac80211 in those
patches yet.
so I finally had some time to do a better bug-reporter job.

I added a bunch of printk-s and several virt_addr_valid()-s
to ieee80211_aes_ccm_encrypt().

and right befoe the Oops I see the following report from
virt_addr_valid()


 FAIL: 00004100002cba02 > ffffc900802cba02 || 1 -> (00004100002cba02

Yeah, we already know that in this function the aad variable is on the
stack, it explicitly is.

The question, though, is why precisely that fails in the crypto code.
Can you send the Oops report itself?
