From ccdd6a93ee0c4a68cfaeddc80a87fc092ff35b96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Monam Agarwal Date: Sun, 23 Mar 2014 02:02:29 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] drivers/block: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in drbd/drbd_state.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 Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg --- 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 a7772e2aba7e..4a75b7a03b9d 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);
