Subject: [PATCH] tcm_fc: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 15:05:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140818120537.GA19578@ada> (raw)

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)
