[ Upstream commit 4f235000b1e88934d1e6117dc43ed814710ef4e2 ]
As a preparation to support partial data transfer due to badblocks, replace the null_process_cmd() call in null_zone_write() with equivalent calls to null_handle_badblocks() and null_handle_memory_backed(). This commit does not change behavior. It will enable null_handle_badblocks() to return the size of partial data transfer in the following commit, allowing null_zone_write() to move write pointers appropriately.
Hello Sasha, I don't think this patch should be in stable kernels, since it just refactors code as a preparation for another patch. I suggest to drop it for all stable kernels.
I'll drop it, thanks!
