Can mddev->bitmap be NULL?

If so, will the above loop do the right thing when this:

void bitmap_end_sync(struct bitmap *bitmap, sector_t offset, int *blocks, int aborted)
{
bitmap_counter_t *bmc;
unsigned long flags;
/*
if (offset == 0) printk("bitmap_end_sync 0 (%d)\n", aborted);
*/ if (bitmap == NULL) {
*blocks = 1024;
return;
}

triggers?
