From 34dd886c19547ea138634b98a615ccd1fe42cd20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Monam Agarwal Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:53:40 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: regulatory: use RCU_INIT_POINTER rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. However, in the case that NULL is assigned there's no structure to initialize so using RCU_INIT_POINTER instead is safe and more efficient.
