From 35b123e2f701b28977db2cde7dbbdb3fad28cad1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:50:43 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] sched/fair: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer. According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment: "1. This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer" it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a smaller overhead.
