Subject: [PATCH] fs: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in aio.c
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:12:31 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1395600151-8911-1-git-send-email-monamagarwal123@gmail.com> (raw)
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)
