Would you want a squashed commit with all my RCU+ws-related epoll changes to keep history cleaner? I will try to be more careful and require less followup patches in the future :x fs/eventpoll.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/fs/eventpoll.c b/fs/eventpoll.c index dcf7906..1295d3a 100644 --- a/fs/eventpoll.c +++ b/fs/eventpoll.c @@ -1207,7 +1207,7 @@ static noinline void ep_destroy_wakeup_source(struct epitem *epi) { struct wakeup_source *ws = ep_wakeup_source(epi); - rcu_assign_pointer(epi->ws, NULL); + RCU_INIT_POINTER(epi->ws, NULL); /* * wait for ep_pm_stay_awake_rcu to finish, synchronize_rcu is -- Eric Wong -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
