From 270b4b3115d816a91fdb31a0c1686709eb60c3ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 13:12:09 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cnic: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer() The "rcu_dereference()" calls are used directly in conditions. Since their return values are never dereferenced it is recommended to use "rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()". Therefore, this patch makes the replacements. The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used: @@ @@ ( if( (<+... - rcu_dereference + rcu_access_pointer (...) ...+>)) {...} | while( (<+... - rcu_dereference + rcu_access_pointer (...) ...+>)) {...} ) Signed-off-by: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Acked-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.
