[GIT PULL] Core block IO bits for 3.19

From: Jens Axboe
Date: Fri Dec 12 2014 - 22:02:39 EST


Hi Linus,

This is the pull request for the core block IO changes for 3.19. Not a
huge round this time, mostly lots of little good fixes. The pull request
contains:

- Fix a bug in sysfs blktrace interface causing a NULL pointer
dereference, when enabled/disabled through that API. From Arianna
Avanzini.

- Various updates/fixes/improvements for blk-mq:

- A set of updates from Bart, mostly fixing buts in the tag
handling.

- Cleanup/code consolidation from Christoph.

- Extend queue_rq API to be able to handle batching issues of IO
requests. NVMe will utilize this shortly. From me.

- A few tag and request handling updates from me.

- Cleanup of the preempt handling for running queues from Paolo.

- Prevent running of unmapped hardware queues from Ming Lei.

- Move the kdump memory limiting check to be in the correct
location, from Shaohua.

- Initialize all software queues at init time from Takashi. This
prevents a kobject warning when CPUs are brought online that
weren't online when a queue was registered.

- Single writeback fix for I_DIRTY clearing from Tejun. Queued with the
core IO changes, since it's just a single fix.

- Version X of the __bio_add_page() segment addition retry from
Maurizio. Hope the Xth time is the charm.

- Documentation fixup for IO scheduler merging from Jan.

- Introduce (and use) generic IO stat accounting helpers for non-rq
drivers, from Gu Zheng.

- Kill off artificial limiting of max sectors in a request from
Christoph.


Please pull!
