Merge tag 'for-4.18/block-20180603' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
- clean up how we pass around gfp_t and
blk_mq_req_flags_t (Christoph)
- prepare us to defer scheduler attach (Christoph)
- clean up drivers handling of bounce buffers (Christoph)
- fix timeout handling corner cases (Christoph/Bart/Keith)
- bcache fixes (Coly)
- prep work for bcachefs and some block layer optimizations (Kent).
- convert users of bio_sets to using embedded structs (Kent).
- fixes for the BFQ io scheduler (Paolo/Davide/Filippo)
- lightnvm fixes and improvements (Matias, with contributions from Hans
and Javier)
- adding discard throttling to blk-wbt (me)
- sbitmap blk-mq-tag handling (me/Omar/Ming).
- remove the sparc jsflash block driver, acked by DaveM.
- Kyber scheduler improvement from Jianchao, making it more friendly
wrt merging.
- conversion of symbolic proc permissions to octal, from Joe Perches.
Previously the block parts were a mix of both.
- nbd fixes (Josef and Kevin Vigor)
- unify how we handle the various kinds of timestamps that the block
core and utility code uses (Omar)
- three NVMe pull requests from Keith and Christoph, bringing AEN to
feature completeness, file backed namespaces, cq/sq lock split, and
various fixes
- various little fixes and improvements all over the map
