Subject: [PATCH] eventfd: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:01:29 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140818150129.GA14447@ada> (raw)

"1.   This use of RCU_INIT_POINTER() is NULLing out the pointer"
it is better to use it instead of rcu_assign_pointer() because it has a
smaller overhead.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:

- rcu_assign_pointer
+ RCU_INIT_POINTER
  (..., NULL)
