Message-Id: <1395471838-3099-1-git-send-email-monamagarwal123@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2014 12:33:58 +0530 From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> To: axboe@...nel.dk, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] block: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in blk-cgroup.c This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) Since rcu_assign_pointer() is to ensure that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).
