The patch titled
Subject: lib/idr.c: use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
lib-idrc-use-rcu_init_pointerx-null.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@xxxxxxxxx>
Subject: lib/idr.c: use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)
Replace 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)
