Kernel package version 4.16.16-1 has this: * hardening: enable FORTIFY_SOURCE, disable HARDENED_USERCOPY_FALLBACK I think this means that the driver is broken with the current kernel in unstable. Booting with the kernel commandline parameter "slab_common.usercopy_fallback=Y" may work around the problem?
