Were you running on an 11n/ac network? IIUC, the particular code that's
being blamed is only active with 11n+ features.

You might also make sure you test with stuff like lockdep enabled, as
that gives nice warnings and can even preemptively warn about potential
problems before they even occur, if you use the right settings. (Some
lockdep configurations can slow things down significantly, BTW.)
