Merge branch 'for-4.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO changes for this merge window.  Nothing
  earth shattering in here, it's mostly just fixes.  In detail:

   - Fix for a long standing issue where wrong ordering in blk-mq caused
     order_to_size() to spew a warning.  From Bart.

   - Async discard support from Christoph.  Basically just splitting our
     sync interface into a submit + wait part.

   - Add a cleaner interface for flagging whether a device has a write
     back cache or not.  We've previously overloaded blk_queue_flush()
     with this, but let's make it more explicit.  Drivers cleaned up and
     updated in the drivers pull request.  From me.

   - Fix for a double check for whether IO accounting is enabled or not.
     From Michael Callahan.

   - Fix for the async discard from Mike Snitzer, reinstating the early
     EOPNOTSUPP return if the device doesn't support discards.

   - Also from Mike, export bio_inc_remaining() so dm can drop it's
     private copy of it.

   - From Ming Lin, add support for passing in an offset for request
     payloads.

   - Tag function export from Sagi, which will be used in NVMe in the
     drivers pull.

   - Two blktrace related fixes from Shaohua.

   - Propagate NOMERGE flag when making a request from a bio, also from
     Shaohua.

   - An optimization to not parse cgroup paths in blk-throttle, if we
     don't need to.  From Shaohua"
