ipmi: move timer init to before irq is setup
We encountered a panic on boot in ipmi_si on a dell per320 due to an uninitialized timer as follows. static int smi_start_processing(void *send_info, ipmi_smi_t intf) { /* Try to claim any interrupts. */ if (new_smi->irq_setup) new_smi->irq_setup(new_smi); --> IRQ arrives here and irq handler tries to modify uninitialized timer which triggers BUG_ON(!timer->function) in __mod_timer(). Call Trace: <IRQ> [<ffffffffa0532617>] start_new_msg+0x47/0x80 [ipmi_si] [<ffffffffa053269e>] start_check_enables+0x4e/0x60 [ipmi_si] [<ffffffffa0532bd8>] smi_event_handler+0x1e8/0x640 [ipmi_si] [<ffffffff810f5584>] ? __rcu_process_callbacks+0x54/0x350 [<ffffffffa053327c>] si_irq_handler+0x3c/0x60 [ipmi_si] [<ffffffff810efaf0>] handle_IRQ_event+0x60/0x170 [<ffffffff810f245e>] handle_edge_irq+0xde/0x180 [<ffffffff8100fc59>] handle_irq+0x49/0xa0 [<ffffffff8154643c>] do_IRQ+0x6c/0xf0 [<ffffffff8100ba53>] ret_from_intr+0x0/0x11 /* Set up the timer that drives the interface. */ setup_timer(&new_smi->si_timer, smi_timeout, (long)new_smi); The following patch fixes the problem.
