Subject: [PATCH] cred: remove RCU initializer for init_task.cred
Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 16:51:46 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260812-task-cred-fixup-v1-1-318440888adc@google.com> (raw)
sparse noticed that an RCU initializer was left behind for init_task.cred,
which is no longer marked __rcu. Fix it up.
Fixes: a4229a2a16a8 ("cred: clarify that task_struct::cred is only for the current task")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202608121153.nzs6HZg7-lkp@intel.com/

maybe squash this into the original commit, if that is a thing you do on
the dev-staging branch?
