From 57d88182ea3e8763111882671fd7462289272f64 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Bloch Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2017 14:36:58 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] vxlan: use a more suitable function when assigning NULL When stopping the vxlan interface we detach it from the socket. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() and not rcu_assign_pointer() to do so. Suggested-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: Mark Bloch Signed-off-by: David S.
