[RFC][PATCH v2 30/31] timers: x86/mce: Use __init_timer() for resetting timers

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Thu Oct 27 2022 - 11:11:50 EST


From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS is now checking if a timer is ever enqueued, and if
so, it must call del_timer_shutdown() before freeing, otherwise
debug objects will trigger. This requires that once a timer is initialized
(and initialized for debug objects) it must not be re-initialized using
timer_setup(), as that will call the debug objects initialization code
again and trigger a bug if it was ever used.

As the mce reinitializes its timers on CPU hotplug, it must use
__init_timer() instead of timer_setup(), which will only initialize the
debug objects once.
