From 6440cc9e0f48ade57af7be28008cbfa6a991f287 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Sat, 22 Mar 2008 17:59:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4] fib_trie: fix warning from rcu_assign_poinger This gets rid of a warning caused by the test in rcu_assign_pointer. I tried to fix rcu_assign_pointer, but that devolved into a long set of discussions about doing it right that came to no real solution. Since the test in rcu_assign_pointer for constant NULL would never succeed in fib_trie, just open code instead. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Acked-by: Paul E. McKenney Signed-off-by: David S.
