Subject: [PATCH] vmx: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 18:14:04 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140818151404.GA25046@ada> (raw)
The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer.
According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment:
"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)
