Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here's the pull request for the driver
related changes for 3.16. Nothing out of the ordinary here, mostly
business as usual. There are a few pulls of for-3.16/core into this
branch, which were done when the blk-mq was modified after the
mtip32xx conversion was put in.
The pull request contains:
- skd and cciss converted to use pci_enable_msix_exact(). From
Alexander Gordeev.
- A few mtip32xx fixes from Asai @ Micron.
- The conversion of mtip32xx from make_request_fn to blk-mq, and a
later small fix for that conversion on quiescing for non-queued IO.
From me.
- A fix for bsg to use an exported function to check whether this
driver is request based or not. Needed updating for blk-mq, which
is request based, but does not have a request_fn hook. From me.
- Small floppy bug fix from Jiri.
- A series of cleanups for the cdrom uniform layer from Joe Perches.
Gets rid of various old ugly macros, making the code conform more
to the modern coding style.
- A series of patches for drbd from the drbd crew (Lars Ellenberg and
Philipp Reisner).
- A use-after-free fix for null_blk from Ming Lei.
- Also from Ming Lei is a performance patch for virtio-blk, which can
net us a 3x win on kvm platforms where world notification is
expensive.
- Ming Lei also fixed a stall issue in virtio-blk, due to a race
between queue start/stop and resource limits.
- A small batch of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Olaf Hering and
Valentin Priescu"
