cmm_set_timer could be called concurrently from cmm_thread, cmm proc handler, upon cmm smsg receive and timer function itself. To avoid potential race condition and hitting BUG_ON in add_timer on already pending timer simply reuse mod_timer which is according to documentation "the only safe way to modify the timeout" with multiple unserialized concurrent users. mod_timer can handle both active and inactive timers which allows to carry out minor code simplification as well.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
