Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: - Remove references to old schedulers for the scheduler switching and blkio controller documentation (Andreas) - Kill duplicate check for report zone for null_blk (Chaitanya) - Two bcache fixes (Coly) - Ensure that mq-deadline is selected if zoned block device is enabled, as we need that to support them (Damien) - Fix io_uring memory leak (Eric) - ps3vram fallout from LBDAF removal (Geert) - Redundant blk-mq debugfs debugfs_create return check cleanup (Greg) - Extend NOPLM quirk for ST1000LM024 drives (Hans) - Remove error path warning that can now trigger after the queue removal/addition fixes (Ming) * tag 'for-linus-20190614' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block/ps3vram: Use %llu to format sector_t after LBDAF removal libata: Extend quirks for the ST1000LM024 drives with NOLPM quirk bcache: only set BCACHE_DEV_WB_RUNNING when cached device attached bcache: fix stack corruption by PRECEDING_KEY() blk-mq: remove WARN_ON(!q->elevator) from blk_mq_sched_free_requests blkio-controller.txt: Remove references to CFQ block/switching-sched.txt: Update to blk-mq schedulers null_blk: remove duplicate check for report zone blk-mq: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions io_uring: fix memory leak of UNIX domain socket inode block: force select mq-deadline for zoned block devices
