Hi Linus, We don't have a lot of core changes this time around, it's mostly in drivers, which will come in a subsequent pull. The cores changes include: - blk-mq - Prep patch from Christoph, changing blk_mq_alloc_request() to take flags instead of just using gfp_t for sleep/nosleep. - Doc patch from me, clarifying the difference between legacy and blk-mq for timer usage. - Fixes from Raghavendra for memory-less numa nodes, and a reuse of CPU masks. - Cleanup from Geliang Tang, using offset_in_page() instead of open coding it. - From Ilya, rename request_queue slab to it reflects what it holds, and a fix for proper use of bdgrab/put. - A real fix for the split across stripe boundaries from Keith. We yanked a broken version of this from 4.4-rc final, this one works. - From Mike Krinkin, emit a trace message when we split. - From Wei Tang, two small cleanups, not explicitly clearing memory that is already cleared. Please pull! git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block.git for-4.5/core ---------------------------------------------------------------- Christoph Hellwig (1): blk-mq: add a flags parameter to blk_mq_alloc_request Geliang Tang (1): bio: use offset_in_page macro Ilya Dryomov (2): block: rename request_queue slab cache block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding Jens Axboe (2): block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq Revert "blk-flush: Queue through IO scheduler when flush not required" Keith Busch (1): block: split bios to max possible length Mike Krinkin (1): block: add call to split trace point Raghavendra K T (2): blk-mq: Reuse hardware context cpumask for tags blk-mq: Avoid memoryless numa node encoded in hctx numa_node Wei Tang (2): block: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL block: do not initialise statics to 0 or NULL block/bio.c | 4 ++-- block/blk-core.c | 15 ++++++++------- block/blk-flush.c | 2 +- block/blk-merge.c | 22 +++++++++++++++++++--- block/blk-mq-cpumap.c | 2 +- block/blk-mq-tag.c | 11 +++++------ block/blk-mq.c | 31 ++++++++++--------------------- block/blk-mq.h | 11 ++++------- block/blk-timeout.c | 6 ++++++ block/genhd.c | 2 +- drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c | 2 +- drivers/block/null_blk.c | 2 +- drivers/char/raw.c | 2 +- drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c | 2 +- drivers/nvme/host/pci.c | 11 ++++++----- fs/block_dev.c | 10 +++++----- include/linux/blk-mq.h | 8 +++++++- include/linux/blkdev.h | 2 +- 18 files changed, 80 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) -- Jens Axboe -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-block" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
