Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:51:43 +0530 From: Monam Agarwal <monamagarwal123@...il.com> To: linville@...driver.com, johannes@...solutions.net, davem@...emloft.net, linux-wireless@...r.kernel.org, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] net/mac80211: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in util.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> --- net/mac80211/util.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/mac80211/util.c b/net/mac80211/util.c index 275c94f..7601657 100644 --- a/net/mac80211/util.c +++ b/net/mac80211/util.c @@ -1546,7 +1546,7 @@ int ieee80211_reconfig(struct ieee80211_local *local) WARN_ON(local->resuming); res = drv_add_interface(local, sdata); if (WARN_ON(res)) { - rcu_assign_pointer(local->monitor_sdata, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(local->monitor_sdata, NULL); synchronize_net(); kfree(sdata); } -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
