Message-Id: <1395600044-8576-1-git-send-email-monamagarwal123@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:10:44 +0530 From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> To: dhowells@...hat.com, linux-afs@...ts.infradead.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] fs: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in afs/inode.c 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) Signed-off-by: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> --- fs/afs/inode.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/afs/inode.c b/fs/afs/inode.c index ce25d75..7c09dfe 100644 --- a/fs/afs/inode.c +++ b/fs/afs/inode.c @@ -445,7 +445,7 @@ void afs_evict_inode(struct inode *inode) mutex_lock(&vnode->permits_lock); permits = vnode->permits; - rcu_assign_pointer(vnode->permits, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(vnode->permits, NULL); mutex_unlock(&vnode->permits_lock); if (permits) call_rcu(&permits->rcu, afs_zap_permits); -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
