From 0c2bef4621c5feb5bda9068c9964b2e9acf57017 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Monam Agarwal Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 00:51:43 +0530 Subject: mac80211: 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.
