Merge tag 'for-linus-20181207' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Let's try this again...

  We're finally happy with the DM livelock issue, and it's also passed
  overnight testing and the corruption regression test. The end result
  is much nicer now too, which is great.

  Outside of that fix, there's a pull request for NVMe with two small
  fixes, and a regression fix for BFQ from this merge window. The BFQ
  fix looks bigger than it is, it's 90% comment updates"
