Core block IO changes for 4.7-rc1
Hi Linus,
This is the core block IO changes for this merge window. Nothing earth shattering in here, it's mostly just fixes. In detail:
- Fix for a long standing issue where wrong ordering in blk-mq caused order_to_size() to spew a warning. From Bart.
- Async discard support from Christoph. Basically just splitting our sync interface into a submit + wait part.
- Add a cleaner interface for flagging whether a device has a write back cache or not. We've previously overloaded blk_queue_flush() with this, but let's make it more explicit. Drivers cleaned up and updated in the drivers pull request. From me.
- Fix for a double check for whether IO accounting is enabled or not. From Michael Callahan.
- Fix for the async discard from Mike Snitzer, reinstating the early EOPNOTSUPP return if the device doesn't support discards.
- Also from Mike, export bio_inc_remaining() so dm can drop it's private copy of it.
- From Ming Lin, add support for passing in an offset for request payloads.
- Tag function export from Sagi, which will be used in NVMe in the drivers pull.
- Two blktrace related fixes from Shaohua.
- Propagate NOMERGE flag when making a request from a bio, also from Shaohua.
- An optimization to not parse cgroup paths in blk-throttle, if we don't need to. From Shaohua.
Please pull!
