From c24a4a369419c360c323865b91198878275c1481 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Viresh Kumar Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2014 14:15:21 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] timer: Check failure of timer_cpu_notify() before calling init_timer_stats() timer_cpu_notify() should return NOTIFY_OK and nothing else. Anything else would trigger a BUG_ON(). Return value of this routine is already checked correctly but is done after issuing a call to init_timer_stats(). The right order would be to check the error case first and then call init_timer_stats(). Lets do it.
