From 3b63a43f1e04b935e1ce0383f78ac0f5c65433d8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Monam Agarwal Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2014 12:28:10 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] arch/x86: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER(x, NULL) in kvm/vmx.c Here rcu_assign_pointer() is ensuring that the initialization of a structure is carried out before storing a pointer to that structure. So, rcu_assign_pointer(p, NULL) can always safely be converted to RCU_INIT_POINTER(p, NULL).
