Subject: [PATCH net-next 3/4] hv_netvsc: reset net_device_ctx->nvdev with rcu_assign_pointer()
Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2017 14:42:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171031134204.15287-4-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171031134204.15287-1-vkuznets@redhat.com>

RCU_INIT_POINTER() is not suitable here as it doesn't give us ordering
guarantees (see the comment in rcupdate.h). This is also not a hotpath.
