It's definitely a problem that we don't call INIT_KFIFO().  But I'm
curious about why this would only be a problem "sometimes".  The kfifo
is allocated with devm_kzalloc(), so it should be zero-filled and I
would think it would fail consistently, every time.  But I guess not?

I assume maybe you mean "aer-inject" (not "aer_inject"), from
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gong.chen/aer-inject.git/ ?
At least, that's what's mentioned in Documentation/PCI/pcieaer-howto.rst.
