I think this points to a broader problem of holding uninitialized smi_info
structs in smi_infos list. There are many places where handlers and other struct
members are assumed. Maybe a better design would be to remove SMIs from the list
if we have no intention of initializing them?
This begs the question: How did you produce this? From what I can tell,
there is no way you can get to this code if you don't have a working and
initialized smi_info structure, and that's not the only place this would
have to be fixed if it wasn't. So it's not what you assume, I don't think
it's an uninitialized smi_info structure on the list.
My kernel is missing 0944d889a2, wherein the dmi handling moved to a platform
device. Without this commit the driver discovers both ACPI and SMBIOS records
but only initializes the former; this is visible in the tracebacks below.
Is there a case for pushing a similar patch to stable releases predating
0944d889a2
to prevent this crash?
It looks like you are using a Redhat 3.10 kernel. Is that right?

If you are removing the module and this happens, there may be a race
conditions, but this is the wrong fix. More likely that the structure gets
cleaned up and this function is called afterwards.

Avoid panicking when there are uninitialized SMIs by checking for a handler
pointer before starting the check enables transaction.
