The patch titled fmr pool: remove unnecessary pointer dereference has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is fmr-pool-remove-unnecessary-pointer-dereference.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: fmr pool: remove unnecessary pointer dereference From: "Michael S. Tsirkin" <mst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ib_fmr_pool_map_phys gets the virtual address by pointer but never writes there, and users (e.g. srp) seem to assume this and ignore the value returned. This patch cleans up the API to get the VA by value, and updates all users. Signed-off-by: Michael S.
