From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <[email protected]> The rcu_assign_pointer() function currently doesn't do any sparse checking on the assigned-to pointer. So its possible that a pointer that is not __rcu annotated is assigned with rcu_assign_pointer without sparse complaints. Because rcu_dereference() already does such checking, this commit makes rcu_assign_pointer() to do the same. The extra error could be helpful in cases where an RCU pointer is assigned with rcu_assign_pointer() but not annotated with __rcu.
This doesn't generate any code in the normal case because __CHECKER__ is defined only in the context of sparse. This commit also renames rcu_dereference_sparse() to rcu_check_parse() since the checking now happens not only during derereferencing but also during assignment. Test: Introduced an rcu_assign_pointer in code and checked the output of sparse with and without this change. The change correctly causes sparse to throw an error.
