Linus Torvalds 55a1ab56c7 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A smaller collection of fixes that should go into -rc1. This contains:

   - A fix from Christoph, fixing a regression with the WRITE_SAME and
     partial completions. Caused a BUG() on ppc.

   - Fixup for __blk_mq_stop_hw_queues(), it should be static. From
     Colin.

   - Removal of dmesg error messages on elevator switching, when invoked
     from sysfs. From me.

   - Fix for blk-stat, using this_cpu_ptr() in a section only protected
     by rcu_read_lock(). This breaks when PREEMPT_RCU is enabled. From
     me.

   - Two fixes for BFQ from Paolo, one fixing a crash and one updating
     the documentation.

   - An error handling lightnvm memory leak, from Rakesh.

   - The previous blk-mq hot unplug lock reversal depends on the CPU
     hotplug rework that isn't in mainline yet. This caused a lockdep
     splat when people unplugged CPUs with blk-mq devices. From Wanpeng.

   - A regression fix for DIF/DIX on blk-mq. From Wen"

  block, bfq: stress that low_latency must be off to get max throughput
  block, bfq: use pointer entity->sched_data only if set
  nvme: lightnvm: fix memory leak
  blk-mq: make __blk_mq_stop_hw_queues static
  lightnvm: remove unused rq parameter of nvme_nvm_rqtocmd() to kill warning

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
