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 <[email protected]> --- drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c index 2677d1c..b793775 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.c @@ -498,7 +498,7 @@ void iwl_mvm_sta_drained_wk(struct work_struct *wk) sta_id); continue; } - rcu_assign_pointer(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id], NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id], NULL); clear_bit(sta_id, mvm->sta_drained); } @@ -557,7 +557,7 @@ int iwl_mvm_rm_sta(struct iwl_mvm *mvm, } else { spin_unlock_bh(&mvm_sta->lock); ret = iwl_mvm_rm_sta_common(mvm, mvm_sta->sta_id); - rcu_assign_pointer(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[mvm_sta->sta_id], NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[mvm_sta->sta_id], NULL); } return ret; @@ -571,7 +571,7 @@ int iwl_mvm_rm_sta_id(struct iwl_mvm *mvm, lockdep_assert_held(&mvm->mutex); - rcu_assign_pointer(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id], NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta_id], NULL); return ret; } @@ -593,7 +593,7 @@ int iwl_mvm_allocate_int_sta(struct iwl_mvm *mvm, struct iwl_mvm_int_sta *sta, void iwl_mvm_dealloc_int_sta(struct iwl_mvm *mvm, struct iwl_mvm_int_sta *sta) { - rcu_assign_pointer(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta->sta_id], NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(mvm->fw_id_to_mac_id[sta->sta_id], NULL); memset(sta, 0, sizeof(struct iwl_mvm_int_sta)); sta->sta_id = IWL_MVM_STATION_COUNT; } -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
