[PATCH 6.0 017/190] wifi: cfg80211: silence a sparse RCU warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 03c0ad4b06c3566de624b4f4b78ac1a5d1e4c8e7 ]

All we're going to do with this pointer is assign it to
another __rcu pointer, but sparse can't see that, so
use rcu_access_pointer() to silence the warning here.
