From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:41:13 +0530 > This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) > > The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure > is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. > And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize. > So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL) > > Signed-off-by: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@xxxxxxxxx> Applied.
