[PATCH UPDATED 1/2] trace_events_filter: use rcu_assign_pointer()when setting ftrace_event_call->filter

From: Tejun Heo
Date: Wed Nov 23 2011 - 11:50:03 EST


ftrace_event_call->filter is sched RCU protected but didn't use
rcu_assign_pointer(). Use it.

TODO: Add proper __rcu annotation to call->filter and all its users.

-v2: Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() for %NULL clearing as suggested by Eric.
