From: Monam Agarwal Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:22:43 +0000 (+0530) Subject: net/openvswitch: Use with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in vport-gre.c X-Git-Tag: omap-for-v3.16/fixes-against-rc1~36^2~201^2 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=944df8ae84d88f5e8eb027990dad2cfa4fbe4be5;p=pandora-kernel.git net/openvswitch: Use with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in vport-gre.c 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 Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
