Merge branch 'for-3.15/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "On top of the core pull request, here's the pull request for the
  driver related changes for 3.15.  It contains:

   - Improvements for msi-x registration for block drivers (mtip32xx,
     skd, cciss, nvme) from Alexander Gordeev.

   - A round of cleanups and improvements for drbd from Andreas
     Gruenbacher and Rashika Kheria.

   - A round of clanups and improvements for bcache from Kent.

   - Removal of sleep_on() and friends in DAC960, ataflop, swim3 from
     Arnd Bergmann.

   - Bug fix for a bug in the mtip32xx async completion code from Sam
     Bradshaw.

   - Bug fix for accidentally bouncing IO on 32-bit platforms with
     mtip32xx from Felipe Franciosi"

+This describes the in kernel data structure for DRBD-9. Starting with
+Linux v3.14 we are reorganizing DRBD to use this data structure.
+
+Basic Data Structure
+====================
+
+A node has a number of DRBD resources.  Each such resource has a number of
+devices (aka volumes) and connections to other nodes ("peer nodes"). Each DRBD
+device is represented by a block device locally.
+
+The DRBD objects are interconnected to form a matrix as depicted below; a
+drbd_peer_device object sits at each intersection between a drbd_device and a
+drbd_connection:
+
+  /--------------+---------------+.....+---------------\
+  |   resource   |    device     |     |    device     |
+  +--------------+---------------+.....+---------------+
+  |  connection  |  peer_device  |     |  peer_device  |
+  +--------------+---------------+.....+---------------+
+  :              :               :     :               :
+  :              :               :     :               :
+  +--------------+---------------+.....+---------------+
+  |  connection  |  peer_device  |     |  peer_device  |
+  \--------------+---------------+.....+---------------/
+
+In this table, horizontally, devices can be accessed from resources by their
+volume number.  Likewise, peer_devices can be accessed from connections by
+their volume number.  Objects in the vertical direction are connected by double
+linked lists.  There are back pointers from peer_devices to their connections a
+devices, and from connections and devices to their resource.
+
+All resources are in the drbd_resources double-linked list.  In addition, all
+devices can be accessed by their minor device number via the drbd_devices idr.
+
+The drbd_resource, drbd_connection, and drbd_device objects are reference
+counted.  The peer_device objects only serve to establish the links between
+devices and connections; their lifetime is determined by the lifetime of the
+device and connection which they reference.
