You are correct - someone did sti but failed to call trace_hardirqs_on(). Frequently its possible to isolate the code from knowing the last recorded event:
[ 12.886137] irq event stamp: 20 [ 12.886137] hardirqs last disabled at (20): [<ffffffff80248565>] trace_hardirqs_off+0xd/0xf
However your compilation seems to have lost the caller IP:
void trace_hardirqs_off(void) { trace_hardirqs_off_caller(CALLER_ADDR0); } EXPORT_SYMBOL(trace_hardirqs_off);
So that is of little help here. (Not sure how that happened, nor how you could fix that - perhaps turn on some debugging knobs like build with debug info etc..)

That is a possibility yes - if you can find the offending patch it should be relatively straight forward to find the offending sti.
