Subject: cnic: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=270b4b3115d816a91fdb31a0c1686709eb60c3ed;p=linux-beck.git

cnic: Replace rcu_dereference() with rcu_access_pointer()

The "rcu_dereference()" calls are used directly in conditions.
Since their return values are never dereferenced it is recommended to use
"rcu_access_pointer()" instead of "rcu_dereference()".
Therefore, this patch makes the replacements.

The following Coccinelle semantic patch was used:

(
 if(
 (<+...

|
 while(
 (<+...
- rcu_dereference
+ rcu_access_pointer
  (...)
  ...+>)) {...}
)
