Subject: [PATCH]rcu,inet,fib_trie,route,radix-tree,DECnet,mac80211: fix meaningless rcu_dereference(local_var)
Date: Sat, 21 Jun 2008 17:54:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <485CCFC9.2070007@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)
rcu_dereference is provided for fetching an RCU-protected pointer.
And rcu_dereference(local_var) is meaningless and may causes bugs.
