From: Eric Dumazet Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2011 07:09:32 +0000 Subject: [08/23] net: treewide use of RCU_INIT_POINTER commit 2cfa5a0471fef43fda0b7bd87e3a5e4dbadb7809 upstream. rcu_assign_pointer(ptr, NULL) can be safely replaced by RCU_INIT_POINTER(ptr, NULL) (old rcu_assign_pointer() macro was testing the NULL value and could omit the smp_wmb(), but this had to be removed because of compiler warnings) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
