Subject: [PATCH v2 0/4] Assigning NULL to gfn of dax_direct_access if useless
Date:   Thu,  5 Jul 2018 00:38:19 +0800
Message-Id: <20180704163823.9980-1-yehs2007@zoho.com>

Changes since v1 [1]:
* Collect Jan's reviewed-by.
* According to Dan's suggestion, update the unit test infrastructure
  tools/testing/nvdimm/pmem-dax.c for checking the validity of gfn.

Some functions within fs/dax don't need to get gfn from direct_access.
Assigning NULL to gfn of dax_direct_access is more intuitive and simple
than offering a useless local variable.

So all direct_access need to check the validity of pointer pfn for NULL
assignment. If pfn equals to NULL, it doesn't need to calculate its value.

Huaisheng Ye (4):
  nvdimm/pmem: check the validity of the pointer pfn
  nvdimm/pmem-dax: check the validity of the pointer pfn
  s390/block/dcssblk: check the validity of the pointer pfn
  fs/dax: Assign NULL to gfn of dax_direct_access if useless
