[PATCH] ipoib: ipoib_main: Replace rcu_assign_pointer() with RCU_INIT_POINTER()

From: Andreea-Cristina Bernat
Date: Tue Aug 26 2014 - 10:49:36 EST


According to RCU_INIT_POINTER()'s block comment 3.a, it can be used if
"3. The referenced data structure has already been exposed to readers either
at compile time or via rcu_assign_pointer() -and-
a. You have not made -any- reader-visible changes to this structure since
then".

These cases fulfill the conditions above because between the
rcu_dereference_protected() calls and the rcu_assign_pointer() calls there are
no updates of those values.
Therefore, this patch makes the replacements.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:

- rcu_assign_pointer

rtnl_dereference(...)

rcu_dereference_protected(...)
