From c531c77150693759ca0b886a80973d6ae6a1a0d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Monam Agarwal Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:05:56 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] iwlwifi: mvm: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) 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.
