In nilfs_segctor_thread(), timer is a local variable allocated on stack. Its address can't be set to sci->sc_timer and passed in several procedures.
It works now by chance, just because other procedures are called by nilfs_segctor_thread() directly or indirectly and the stack hasn't been deallocated yet.
