Subject: [RESEND PATCH] kernel: sched: fair: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()
Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2014 17:50:43 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140822145043.GA580@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)
