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 --- drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c b/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c index 0cad0c4..04c8b74 100644 --- a/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c +++ b/drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/qib_qp.c @@ -255,10 +255,10 @@ static void remove_qp(struct qib_ibdev *dev, struct qib_qp *qp) if (rcu_dereference_protected(ibp->qp0, lockdep_is_held(&dev->qpt_lock)) == qp) { - rcu_assign_pointer(ibp->qp0, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(ibp->qp0, NULL); } else if (rcu_dereference_protected(ibp->qp1, lockdep_is_held(&dev->qpt_lock)) == qp) { - rcu_assign_pointer(ibp->qp1, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(ibp->qp1, NULL); } else { struct qib_qp *q; struct qib_qp __rcu **qpp; @@ -315,7 +315,7 @@ unsigned qib_free_all_qps(struct qib_devdata *dd) for (n = 0; n < dev->qp_table_size; n++) { qp = rcu_dereference_protected(dev->qp_table[n], lockdep_is_held(&dev->qpt_lock)); - rcu_assign_pointer(dev->qp_table[n], NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(dev->qp_table[n], NULL); for (; qp; qp = rcu_dereference_protected(qp->next, lockdep_is_held(&dev->qpt_lock))) -- 1.7.9.5
