    rcu: Don't return a value from rcu_assign_pointer() · 9129b017

    Quoting Paul [1]:
    
      "Given that a quick (and perhaps error-prone) search of the uses
       of rcu_assign_pointer() in v5.1 didn't find a single use of the
       return value, let's please instead change the documentation and
       implementation to eliminate the return value."
