Message-Id: <1404231410-29852-12-git-send-email-philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2014 18:16:41 +0200 From: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@...bit.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, Jens Axboe <axboe@...nel.dk> Cc: drbd-dev@...ts.linbit.com Subject: [PATCH 11/20] drivers/block: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in drbd/drbd_state.c From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> 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> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@...bit.com> --- drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c b/drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c index a7772e2..4a75b7a 100644 --- a/drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c +++ b/drivers/block/drbd/drbd_state.c @@ -1570,7 +1570,7 @@ static int w_after_conn_state_ch(struct drbd_work *w, int unused) old_conf = connection->net_conf; connection->my_addr_len = 0; connection->peer_addr_len = 0; - rcu_assign_pointer(connection->net_conf, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(connection->net_conf, NULL); conn_free_crypto(connection); mutex_unlock(&connection->resource->conf_update); -- 1.9.1 -- 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/
