Subject: drivers/net: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in tun.c
X-Git-Tag: v4.9.8~6652^2~70
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c956674b7c89e7992a09df309a9f226f02733421;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-rpi3.git

drivers/net: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in tun.c

This patch replaces rcu_assign_pointer(x, NULL) with RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL)

The rcu_assign_pointer() ensures that the initialization of a structure
is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure.
And in the case of the NULL pointer, there is no structure to initialize.
So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can be safely converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL)
