Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1.
They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform
drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just
removing a line in a structure.
Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are
some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by
the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.
Everything has been in linux-next for a while.

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.
Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
- On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
- Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.
There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

driver-core now supports synchrnous self-deletion of attributes and
the asynchrnous removal mechanism is scheduled for removal. Use it
instead of device_schedule_callback().
* Conversions in arch/s390/pci/pci_sysfs.c and
drivers/s390/block/dcssblk.c are straightforward.
* drivers/s390/cio/ccwgroup.c is a bit more tricky because
ccwgroup_notifier() was (ab)using device_schedule_callback() to
purely obtain a process context to kick off ungroup operation which
may block from a notifier callback.
Rename ccwgroup_ungroup_callback() to ccwgroup_ungroup() and make it
take ccwgroup_device * instead. The new function is now called
directly from ccwgroup_ungroup_store().
ccwgroup_notifier() chain is updated to explicitly bounce through
ccwgroup_device->ungroup_work. This also removes possible failure
from memory pressure.

The prefix command is used instead of a define extent to make use of
PAV alias devices during format. On some older storage servers the
prefix command may not be available and the IO request will fail.
Check for availability of prefix command and use define extent if
not available.

Let's not add a function for every external interrupt subclass for
which we need reference counting. Just have two register/unregister
functions which have a subclass parameter:
void irq_subclass_register(enum irq_subclass subclass);
void irq_subclass_unregister(enum irq_subclass subclass);

When a recovery cqr is cleaned up, copy the start time, stop time,
and start device to the original cqr. These times are needed later
when the original request is finalized and counted in the DASD
statistics.

The ECKD protocol supports reading of tracks with arbitrary format as
raw track images. The DASD device driver supports this in its
raw_track_access mode. In this mode it maps each track to sixteen 4096
byte sectors and rejects all requests that are not properly aligned to
this mapping.
An application that wants to use a DASD in raw_track_access mode will
usually use direct I/O to make sure that properly aligned requests are
directly submitted to the driver. However, applications that are not
aware of this mode, e.g. udev, will encounter I/O errors.
To make the use without direct I/O possible and avoid this kind of
alignment errors, we now pad unaligned read requests with a dummy
page, so that we can always read full tracks. Please note that
writing is still only possible for full track images that are properly
aligned.

Just a small update to the wording of the messages, to bring them

The usage of strict_strtoul() is not preferred, because
strict_strtoul() is obsolete. Thus, kstrtoul() should be
used.

The processing of the dasd_block tasklet may have been interrupted
by a path event.
Restart the dasd tasklets in sleep_on_immediately function.

Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
even other devices.
This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
though only one device exhibited an error.
To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.
The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
__dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
new request which would have the
DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.
The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.
