From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Subject: [PATCH] fs: file: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:02:20 +0300 Message-ID: <20140822140220.GA31576@ada> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Cc: paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com To: viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk, linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org The uses of "rcu_assign_pointer()" are NULLing out the pointers. 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.
