Merge branch 'for-4.12/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness. From Paolo. - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler, using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar. - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life times, solving various problems with hot removal. - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a 'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block device. - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef. - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for more than a decade. - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar. - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is marked experimental for now. - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size IO. - A few fixes for opal, from Scott. - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics. From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart. - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from the blk-mq debugfs support. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES. - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also shrinks the size of struct request a bit. - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness. - Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks. * 'for-4.12/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (329 commits) block: hide badblocks attribute by default blk-mq: unify hctx delay_work and run_work block: add kblock_mod_delayed_work_on() blk-mq: unify hctx delayed_run_work and run_work nbd: fix use after free on module unload MAINTAINERS: bfq: Add Paolo as maintainer for the BFQ I/O scheduler blk-mq-sched: alloate reserved tags out of normal pool mtip32xx: use runtime tag to initialize command header scsi: Implement blk_mq_ops.show_rq() blk-mq: Add blk_mq_ops.show_rq() blk-mq: Show operation, cmd_flags and rq_flags names blk-mq: Make blk_flags_show() callers append a newline character blk-mq: Move the "state" debugfs attribute one level down blk-mq: Unregister debugfs attributes earlier blk-mq: Only unregister hctxs for which registration succeeded blk-mq-debugfs: Rename functions for registering and unregistering the mq directory blk-mq: Let blk_mq_debugfs_register() look up the queue name blk-mq: Register <dev>/queue/mq after having registered <dev>/queue ide-pm: always pass 0 error to ide_complete_rq in ide_do_devset ide-pm: always pass 0 error to __blk_end_request_all ..
