Hi Linus, Sending this a bit sooner than I otherwise would have, as a fix in the merge window had some unfortunate issues and side effects for some folks. This pull request contains: - Fixes from Jan for the bdi registration/unregistration. These have been tested by the various parties reporting issues, and should be solid at this point. - Also from Jan, fix for axonram gendisk registration. - A stable fix for zram from Johannes. - A small series from Ming, fixing up some long standing issues with blk-mq hardware queue kobject initialization and registration. - A fix for sed opal from Jon, fixing a nonsensical range check and some set-but-not-used variables. - A fix from Neil for a long standing deadlock issue for stacking device drivers. With this in place, dm/md don't have to work around the issue anymore, and can be properly fixed up. Please pull! git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block.git for-linus ---------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Kara (5): block: Allow bdi re-registration bdi: Fix use-after-free in wb_congested_put() block: Make del_gendisk() safer for disks without queues Revert "scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes" axonram: Fix gendisk handling Johannes Thumshirn (1): zram: set physical queue limits to avoid array out of bounds accesses Jon Derrick (1): block/sed: Fix opal user range check and unused variables Ming Lei (4): blk-mq: initialize mq kobjects in blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() blk-mq: make lifetime consitent between q/ctx and its kobject blk-mq: make lifetime consistent between hctx and its kobject blk-mq: free hctx->cpumask in release handler of hctx's kobject NeilBrown (1): blk: improve order of bio handling in generic_make_request() arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c | 5 ++++- block/blk-core.c | 27 +++++++++++++++++++++------ block/blk-mq-sysfs.c | 40 +++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- block/blk-mq.c | 28 ++++++++++------------------ block/blk-mq.h | 2 ++ block/genhd.c | 37 ++++++++++--------------------------- block/sed-opal.c | 10 ++-------- drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c | 2 ++ drivers/scsi/sd.c | 41 ++++++++--------------------------------- include/linux/blkdev.h | 1 - include/linux/genhd.h | 8 -------- mm/backing-dev.c | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--------------- 12 files changed, 112 insertions(+), 132 deletions(-) -- Jens Axboe
