Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- ublk updates:
- Add support for updating the size of a ublk instance
- Zero-copy improvements
- Auto-registering of buffers for zero-copy
- Series simplifying and improving GET_DATA and request lookup
- Series adding quiesce support
- Lots of selftests additions
- Various cleanups
- NVMe updates via Christoph:
- add per-node DMA pools and use them for PRP/SGL allocations
(Caleb Sander Mateos, Keith Busch)
- nvme-fcloop refcounting fixes (Daniel Wagner)
- support delayed removal of the multipath node and optionally
support the multipath node for private namespaces (Nilay Shroff)
- support shared CQs in the PCI endpoint target code (Wilfred
Mallawa)
- support admin-queue only authentication (Hannes Reinecke)
- use the crc32c library instead of the crypto API (Eric Biggers)
- misc cleanups (Christoph Hellwig, Marcelo Moreira, Hannes
Reinecke, Leon Romanovsky, Gustavo A. R. Silva)
- MD updates via Yu:
- Fix that normal IO can be starved by sync IO, found by mkfs on
newly created large raid5, with some clean up patches for bdev
inflight counters
- Clean up brd, getting rid of atomic kmaps and bvec poking
- Add loop driver specifically for zoned IO testing
- Eliminate blk-rq-qos calls with a static key, if not enabled
- Improve hctx locking for when a plug has IO for multiple queues
pending
- Remove block layer bouncing support, which in turn means we can
remove the per-node bounce stat as well
- Improve blk-throttle support
- Improve delay support for blk-throttle
- Improve brd discard support
- Unify IO scheduler switching. This should also fix a bunch of lockdep
warnings we've been seeing, after enabling lockdep support for queue
freezing/unfreezeing
- Add support for block write streams via FDP (flexible data placement)
on NVMe
- Add a bunch of block helpers, facilitating the removal of a bunch of
duplicated boilerplate code
- Remove obsolete BLK_MQ pci and virtio Kconfig options
- Add atomic/untorn write support to blktrace
- Various little cleanups and fixes
