The "rcu_dereference()" calls are used directly in conditions.
Since their return values are never dereferenced it is recommended to
use "rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()".
Therefore, this patch makes the replacements.
The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:
@@
@@
(
if(
(<+...
- rcu_dereference
+ rcu_access_pointer
(...)
...+>)) {...}
|
while(
(<+...
- rcu_dereference
+ rcu_access_pointer
(...)
...+>)) {...}
)
