Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer()
Date: Sat, 16 Aug 2014 22:34:42 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140816193442.GA6471@ada> (raw)

This "rcu_dereference()" call is used directly in a condition.
Since its return value is never dereferenced it is recommended to use
"rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()".
Therefore, this patch makes this replacement.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used for solving it:
@@
@@

(
 if(
 (<+...
- rcu_dereference
+ rcu_access_pointer
  (...)
 ...+>)) {...}
|
 while(
 (<+...
- rcu_dereference
+ rcu_access_pointer
  (...)
  ...+>)) {...}
)
