Merge branch 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "This branch also contains core changes. I've come to the conclusion that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch. We often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers when that happens. That said, this contains: - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from Christoph. - set of discard fixes, from Christoph. - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the op/flags change in the core branch. - map and append request fixes from Christoph. - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph. This is pretty exciting! - nvme-loop fixes from Arnd. - removal of ->driverfs_dev from Dan, after providing a device_add_disk() helper. - bcache fixes from Bhaktipriya and Yijing. - cdrom subchannel read fix from Vchannaiah. - set of lightnvm updates from Wenwei, Matias, Johannes, and Javier. - set of drbd updates and fixes from Fabian, Lars, and Philipp. - mg_disk error path fix from Bart. - user notification for failed device add for loop, from Minfei. - NVMe in general: + NVMe delay quirk from Guilherme. + SR-IOV support and command retry limits from Keith. + fix for memory-less NUMA node from Masayoshi. + use UINT_MAX for discard sectors, from Minfei. + cancel IO fixes from Ming. + don't allocate unused major, from Neil. + error code fixup from Dan. + use constants for PSDT/FUSE from James. + variable init fix from Jay. + fabrics fixes from Ming, Sagi, and Wei. + various fixes" * 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (115 commits) nvme/pci: Provide SR-IOV support nvme: initialize variable before logical OR'ing it block: unexport various bio mapping helpers scsi/osd: open code blk_make_request target: stop using blk_make_request block: simplify and export blk_rq_append_bio block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initialized virtio_blk: use blk_rq_map_kern memstick: don't allow REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests block: shrink bio size again block: simplify and cleanup bvec pool handling block: get rid of bio_rw and READA block: don't ignore -EOPNOTSUPP blkdev_issue_write_same block: introduce BLKDEV_DISCARD_ZERO to fix zeroout NVMe: don't allocate unused nvme_major nvme: avoid crashes when node 0 is memoryless node. nvme: Limit command retries loop: Make user notify for adding loop device failed nvme-loop: fix nvme-loop Kconfig dependencies nvmet: fix return value check in nvmet_subsys_alloc() ...
