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

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A round of fixes/updates for the current series.

  This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we
  pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so
  it could be updated a bit.  The rest of the volume is also mostly
  lightnvm.  In particular:

   - Lightnvm.  Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and
     Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao.

   - NVMe:
        - Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith.
        - Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from
          a completion queue before deleting it.  Fixes kernel crashes
          when resetting a device with IO pending.
        - Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias.

   - Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a
     flush is not required.  Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be
     idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling.  From
     Jan Kara.

   - Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code.  From
     Gelian Tang.

   - Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq
     devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption
     disabled.  From me.

   - A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook.

   - Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable.  A third part is adding a
     new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw
     up the accounting.

   - Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes"
