The crash is seen when, glfs_init failed for some reason and glfs_fini was called for cleaning up the partial initialization. The fix is in two folds: 1. In timer store and restore the THIS, previously it was being overwritten. 2. In glfs_free_from_ctx() and glfs_fini() check for NULL before destroying.
