From f4303d8fa6da702b5fe53fa91a6984941d89d514 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Date: Mon, 18 Aug 2014 17:56:22 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] libfc: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() The uses of "rcu_assign_pointer()" are NULLing out the pointers. 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.
