From: Monam Agarwal Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 19:11:13 +0000 (+0530) Subject: net/bridge: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in br_vlan.c X-Git-Tag: v3.15-rc1~113^2~69 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd18721e527270f9afa5c8daabfb6403b01e3a92;p=pandora-kernel.git net/bridge: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in br_vlan.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: David S. Miller --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
