[GIT PULL] Core block IO changes for 4.5

Show all headers | View raw

Hi Linus,

We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in
drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull.

The cores changes include:

- blk-mq
        - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to
          take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep.
        - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy
          and blk-mq for timer usage.
        - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse
          of CPU masks.

- Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open
  coding it.

- From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds, and
  a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put.

- A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith. We
  yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works.

- From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split.

- From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory that
  is already cleared.

Please pull!
