Linus Torvalds 23d4ed53b7 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1.  Some general
  cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
  NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq.  The pull request contains:

   - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
     the driver.  Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
     such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
     request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic.  From
     me.

   - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags.  Some scsi devices have a huge
     shared tag space.  Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
     depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
     value.  From me.

   - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others.

   - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith.  This is
     needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal.

   - Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei.

   - Small round of performance fixes for mtip32xx from Sam Bradshaw.

   - Minor stack leak fix from Rickard Strandqvist.

   - Two __init annotations from Fabian Frederick"

Jens Axboe 58a4915ad2 block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bio
With commit 762380ad93 added support for chunk sizes and no merging
across them, it broke the rule of always allowing adding of a single
page to an empty bio. So relax the restriction a bit to allow for that,
similarly to what we have always done.

This fixes a crash with mkfs.xfs and 512b sector sizes on NVMe.

Linus Torvalds 14208b0ec5 Merge branch 'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup
Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of activities on cgroup side.  Heavy restructuring including
  locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable
  implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind
  a __DEVEL__ mount option.  The core support is mostly complete but
  individual controllers need further work.  To explain the design and
  rationales of the the unified hierarchy

        Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt

  is added.

  Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each
  controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration
  update.  This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and
  visibility.  cgroup started with reference count draining on removal
  way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are
  iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to
  allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted.  The css
  iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be
  used to simplify memcg significantly"

Jens Axboe 762380ad93 block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging
Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should
optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to
dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver
to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will
then prevent merging across the chunks.

This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size.

Jens Axboe f9c78b2be2 block: move bio.c and bio-integrity.c from fs/ to block/
They really belong in block/, especially now since it's not in
drivers/block/ anymore. Additionally, the get_maintainer script
gets it wrong when in fs/.
