Merge branch 'for-3.10/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe: - Major bit is Kents prep work for immutable bio vecs. - Stable candidate fix for a scheduling-while-atomic in the queue bypass operation. - Fix for the hang on exceeded rq->datalen 32-bit unsigned when merging discard bios. - Tejuns changes to convert the writeback thread pool to the generic workqueue mechanism. - Runtime PM framework, SCSI patches exists on top of these in James' tree. - A few random fixes. * 'for-3.10/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (40 commits) relay: move remove_buf_file inside relay_close_buf partitions/efi.c: replace useless kzalloc's by kmalloc's fs/block_dev.c: fix iov_shorten() criteria in blkdev_aio_read() block: fix max discard sectors limit blkcg: fix "scheduling while atomic" in blk_queue_bypass_start Documentation: cfq-iosched: update documentation help for cfq tunables writeback: expose the bdi_wq workqueue writeback: replace custom worker pool implementation with unbound workqueue writeback: remove unused bdi_pending_list aoe: Fix unitialized var usage bio-integrity: Add explicit field for owner of bip_buf block: Add an explicit bio flag for bios that own their bvec block: Add bio_alloc_pages() block: Convert some code to bio_for_each_segment_all() block: Add bio_for_each_segment_all() bounce: Refactor __blk_queue_bounce to not use bi_io_vec raid1: use bio_copy_data() pktcdvd: Use bio_reset() in disabled code to kill bi_idx usage pktcdvd: use bio_copy_data() block: Add bio_copy_data() ...
