Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
"A round of fixes/updates for the current series.
This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we
pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so
it could be updated a bit. The rest of the volume is also mostly
lightnvm. In particular:
- Lightnvm. Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and
Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao.
- NVMe:
- Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith.
- Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from
a completion queue before deleting it. Fixes kernel crashes
when resetting a device with IO pending.
- Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias.
- Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a
flush is not required. Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be
idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling. From
Jan Kara.
- Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code. From
Gelian Tang.
- Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq
devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption
disabled. From me.
- A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook.
- Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable. A third part is adding a
new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw
up the accounting.
- Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes"
