Merge branch 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
     driver code"
