[dm-devel] [PATCH v2 5/6] md/dm-writecache: Don't request pointer dummy_addr when not required

[Huaisheng Ye]

From: Huaisheng Ye <yehs1 at lenovo.com>

Function persistent_memory_claim doesn't need to get local pointer
dummy_addr from direct_access. Using NULL instead of having to pass
in a useless local pointer that caller then just throw away.
