From 0a5b99f57873e233ad42ef71e23c629f6ea1fcfe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" Date: Thu, 11 Jul 2019 16:45:41 -0400 Subject: treewide: Rename rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() to _check() The rcu_dereference_raw_notrace() API name is confusing. It is equivalent to rcu_dereference_raw() except that it also does sparse pointer checking. There are only a few users of rcu_dereference_raw_notrace(). This patches renames all of them to be rcu_dereference_raw_check() with the "_check()" indicating sparse checking.
