Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2014 16:46:32 +0300 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat <bernat.ada@...il.com> To: davem@...emloft.net, kuznet@....inr.ac.ru, jmorris@...ei.org, yoshfuji@...ux-ipv6.org, kaber@...sh.net, netdev@...r.kernel.org, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: paulmck@...ux.vnet.ibm.com Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: sit: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment 3.a, it can be used if "3. The referenced data structure has already been exposed to readers either at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() -and- a. You have not made -any- reader-visible changes to this structure since then". This case fulfills the conditions above because between the rtnl_dereference() call and the rcu_assign_pointer() call there is no update of that value. Therefore, this patch makes the replacement. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used: @@ @@ - rcu_assign_pointer + RCU_INIT_POINTER (..., ( rtnl_dereference(...) | rcu_dereference_protected(...) ) ) Signed-off-by: Andreea-Cristina Bernat <bernat.ada@...il.com> --- net/ipv6/sit.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/net/ipv6/sit.c b/net/ipv6/sit.c index 4f40817..24c2dba 100644 --- a/net/ipv6/sit.c +++ b/net/ipv6/sit.c @@ -167,7 +167,7 @@ static void ipip6_tunnel_link(struct sit_net *sitn, struct ip_tunnel *t) { struct ip_tunnel __rcu **tp = ipip6_bucket(sitn, t); - rcu_assign_pointer(t->next, rtnl_dereference(*tp)); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(t->next, rtnl_dereference(*tp)); rcu_assign_pointer(*tp, t); } -- 1.9.1 -- 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
