Linus Torvalds 36869cb93d Merge branch 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
  release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
  always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
  reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
  probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
  for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

  The major parts of this pull request is:

   - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
     private implementation instead of using the pig that is
     fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

   - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
     by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
     writeback queue throttling code.

   - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
     that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

   - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
     side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
     scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

   - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
     and Shaun.

   - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

   - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
     which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
     Christoph.

   - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
     stopping and starting in blk-mq.

   - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

   - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

   - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

   - A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
     here"
