Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] kaddr and pfn can be NULL to ->direct_access()

From: Huaisheng Ye <[email protected]>

Changes since v1 [1]:
* Involve the previous patches for pfn can be NULL.
* Reword the patch descriptions according to Christian's comment.
* According to Ross's suggestion, replace local pointer dummy_addr
with NULL within md/dm-writecache for direct_access.

[1]: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/24/199

Some functions within fs/dax, dax/super and md/dm-writecache don't
need to get local pointer kaddr or variable pfn from direct_access.
Assigning NULL to kaddr or pfn to ->direct_access() is more
straightforward and simple than offering a useless local pointer or
variable.

So all ->direct_access() need to check the validity of pointer kaddr
and pfn for NULL assignment. If either of them is equal to NULL, that
is to say callers may have no need for kaddr or pfn, so this series of
patch are prepared for allowing them to pass in NULL instead of having
to pass in a local pointer or variable that they then just throw away.

Huaisheng Ye (6):
libnvdimm, pmem: kaddr and pfn can be NULL to ->direct_access()
s390, dcssblk: kaddr and pfn can be NULL to ->direct_access()

Subject: [PATCH v2 3/6] tools/testing/nvdimm: kaddr and pfn can be NULL to ->direct_access()

From: Huaisheng Ye <[email protected]>

The mock / test version of pmem_direct_access() needs to check the
validity of pointers kaddr and pfn for NULL assignment. If anyone
equals to NULL, it doesn't need to calculate the value.

If pointer equals to NULL, that is to say callers may have no need for
kaddr or pfn, so this patch is prepared for allowing them to pass in
NULL instead of having to pass in a local pointer or variable that
they then just throw away.

Pretty straight forward series. Huaisheng, I can apply the whole series
to libnvdimm if we can get ack's from maintainer of dcssblk and
dm-writecache for the respective bits.

Thanks Dave and Ross.

Hi Jan an Dan,

The previous patch series for NULL-pfn had got your Reviewed-by or Signed-off-by.
Now I have expanded them to local pointer kaddr, can I get your Reviewed-by for current
patch series? Your acks are very important to me.

Cheers,
