Kernel crashes while using aesni_intel
From: Guru Shetty

Hello All,
I have been seeing a bunch of kernel crashes while using aesni_intel
module and IPSEC.
I have so far reproduced the kernel crashes while using the AES-GCM
encryption algorithms(I am using strongswan). It is very easily
reproducible in the 3.2 kernel (stable branch). It is also
reproducible in 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 kernel stable branches (The
reproduction is a little harder with newer kernels. I have seen 2-3
kernel crashes in Linux 3.5 after running netperf traffic for over
week.)
In the 3.2 kernel, the crash happens once every 15 minutes(average) of
netperf TCP traffic.
I have seen this with both Intel (82599EB 10-Gigabit) and Broadcom
(BCM57711 10-Gigabit PCIe) NICs.
I can provide more information if anyone needs it.
Here is the backtrace as seen in the crash utility.
