But registering sysfs precedes initializing\nrs->lock, so it is possible to change rs->interval to a non-zero value\nvia the msg_ratelimit_interval_ms interface of sysfs while rs->lock is\nuninitialized, and then a call to ext4_msg triggers the problem by\naccessing an uninitialized rs->lock. Therefore register sysfs after all\ninitializations are complete to avoid such problems."
