From df8a09d1b8f9e693ec3f6b7e0162fc817f2cf0db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat Date: Thu, 16 Mar 2017 16:27:45 +0000 Subject: afs: security: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER() The use of "rcu_assign_pointer()" is NULLing out the pointer. 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.
