Linus Torvalds 513a4befae Merge branch 'for-4.9/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block ... Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for block layer changes in 4.9. As mentioned at the last merge window, I've changed things up and now do just one branch for core block layer changes, and driver changes. This avoids dependencies between the two branches. Outside of this main pull request, there are two topical branches coming as well. This pull request contains: - A set of fixes, and a conversion to blk-mq, of nbd. From Josef. - Set of fixes and updates for lightnvm from Matias, Simon, and Arnd. Followup dependency fix from Geert. - General fixes from Bart, Baoyou, Guoqing, and Linus W. - CFQ async write starvation fix from Glauber. - Add supprot for delayed kick of the requeue list, from Mike. - Pull out the scalable bitmap code from blk-mq-tag.c and make it generally available under the name of sbitmap. Only blk-mq-tag uses it for now, but the blk-mq scheduling bits will use it as well. From Omar. - bdev thaw error progagation from Pierre. - Improve the blk polling statistics, and allow the user to clear them. From Stephen. - Set of minor cleanups from Christoph in block/blk-mq. - Set of cleanups and optimizations from me for block/blk-mq. - Various nvme/nvmet/nvmeof fixes from the various folks" * 'for-4.9/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (54 commits) fs/block_dev.c: return the right error in thaw_bdev() nvme: Pass pointers, not dma addresses, to nvme_get/set_features() nvme/scsi: Remove power management support nvmet: Make dsm number of ranges zero based nvmet: Use direct IO for writes admin-cmd: Added smart-log command support. nvme-fabrics: Add host_traddr options field to host infrastructure nvme-fabrics: revise host transport option descriptions nvme-fabrics: rework nvmf_get_address() for variable options nbd: use BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING blkcg: Annotate blkg_hint correctly cfq: fix starvation of asynchronous writes blk-mq: add flag for drivers wanting blocking ->queue_rq() blk-mq: remove non-blocking pass in blk_mq_map_request blk-mq: get rid of manual run of queue with __blk_mq_run_hw_queue() block: export bio_free_pages to other modules lightnvm: propagate device_add() error code lightnvm: expose device geometry through sysfs lightnvm: control life of nvm_dev in driver blk-mq: register device instead of disk ...		2016-10-07 14:42:05 -07:00
