[RFC 0/5] RCU fixes for rcu_assign_pointer usage

["Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>]

These patches fix various RCU API usage issues found due to sparse errors as a
result of the recent check to add rcu_check_sparse() to rcu_assign_pointer().

This is very early RFC stage, and is only build tested. I am also only sending
to the RCU group for initial review before sending to LKML. Thanks for any feedback!

There are still more usages that cause errors such as rbtree which I am
looking into.

Joel Fernandes (5):
net: rtnetlink: Fix incorrect RCU API usage
ixgbe: Fix incorrect RCU API usage
sched/cpufreq: Fix incorrect RCU API usage
sched/toplogy: Use smp_store_release() instead of rcu_assign_pointer
rcuwait: Replace rcu_assign_pointer with smp_store_release
