Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:18:14 +0530 From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> To: a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl, paulus@...ba.org, mingo@...hat.com, acme@...stprotocols.net, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] kernel/events: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in callchain.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> --- kernel/events/callchain.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/events/callchain.c b/kernel/events/callchain.c index 97b67df..f2a88de 100644 --- a/kernel/events/callchain.c +++ b/kernel/events/callchain.c @@ -52,7 +52,7 @@ static void release_callchain_buffers(void) struct callchain_cpus_entries *entries; entries = callchain_cpus_entries; - rcu_assign_pointer(callchain_cpus_entries, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(callchain_cpus_entries, NULL); call_rcu(&entries->rcu_head, release_callchain_buffers_rcu); } -- 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/
