Linus Torvalds 694752922b Merge branch 'for-4.12/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Add BFQ IO scheduler under the new blk-mq scheduling framework. BFQ
   was initially a fork of CFQ, but subsequently changed to implement
   fairness based on B-WF2Q+, a modified variant of WF2Q. BFQ is meant
   to be used on desktop type single drives, providing good fairness.
   From Paolo.

 - Add Kyber IO scheduler. This is a full multiqueue aware scheduler,
   using a scalable token based algorithm that throttles IO based on
   live completion IO stats, similary to blk-wbt. From Omar.

 - A series from Jan, moving users to separately allocated backing
   devices. This continues the work of separating backing device life
   times, solving various problems with hot removal.

 - A series of updates for lightnvm, mostly from Javier. Includes a
   'pblk' target that exposes an open channel SSD as a physical block
   device.

 - A series of fixes and improvements for nbd from Josef.

 - A series from Omar, removing queue sharing between devices on mostly
   legacy drivers. This helps us clean up other bits, if we know that a
   queue only has a single device backing. This has been overdue for
   more than a decade.

 - Fixes for the blk-stats, and improvements to unify the stats and user
   windows. This both improves blk-wbt, and enables other users to
   register a need to receive IO stats for a device. From Omar.

 - blk-throttle improvements from Shaohua. This provides a scalable
   framework for implementing scalable priotization - particularly for
   blk-mq, but applicable to any type of block device. The interface is
   marked experimental for now.

 - Bucketized IO stats for IO polling from Stephen Bates. This improves
   efficiency of polled workloads in the presence of mixed block size
   IO.

 - A few fixes for opal, from Scott.

 - A few pulls for NVMe, including a lot of fixes for NVMe-over-fabrics.
   From a variety of folks, mostly Sagi and James Smart.

 - A series from Bart, improving our exposed info and capabilities from
   the blk-mq debugfs support.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up how handle WRITE_ZEROES.

 - A series from Christoph, cleaning up the block layer handling of how
   we track errors in a request. On top of being a nice cleanup, it also
   shrinks the size of struct request a bit.

 - Removal of mg_disk and hd (sorry Linus) by Christoph. The former was
   never used by platforms, and the latter has outlived it's usefulness.

 - Various little bug fixes and cleanups from a wide variety of folks.
