futex: Relax the rcu_assign_pointer() assignment of mm->futex_phash in futex_mm_init()
The following commit added an rcu_assign_pointer() assignment to futex_mm_init() in <linux/futex.h>:bd54df5ea7
("futex: Allow to resize the private local hash") Which breaks the build on older compilers (gcc-9, x86-64 defconfig): CC io_uring/futex.o In file included from ./arch/x86/include/generated/asm/rwonce.h:1, from ./include/linux/compiler.h:390, from ./include/linux/array_size.h:5, from ./include/linux/kernel.h:16, from io_uring/futex.c:2: ./include/linux/futex.h: In function 'futex_mm_init': ./include/linux/rcupdate.h:555:36: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type 'struct futex_private_hash' The problem is that this variant of rcu_assign_pointer() wants to know the full type of 'struct futex_private_hash', which type is local to futex.c: kernel/futex/core.c:struct futex_private_hash { There are a couple of mechanical solutions for this bug: - we can uninline futex_mm_init() and move it into futex/core.c - or we can share the structure definition with kernel/fork.c. But both of these solutions have disadvantages: the first one adds runtime overhead, while the second one dis-encapsulates private futex types. A third solution, implemented by this patch, is to just initialize mm->futex_phash with NULL like the patch below, it's not like this new MM's ->futex_phash can be observed externally until the task is inserted into the task list, which guarantees full store ordering. The relaxation of this initialization might also give a tiny speedup on certain platforms. Fixes:bd54df5ea7
