Hi Linus, Set of changes for the block code that didn't make the initial pull request. Some of these I was a bit late in getting picked up, and some of them are fixes for code that went in with the first merge window pull request. In detail: - MD pull request via Song - Improve raid5 sequential IO performance on spinning disks, which fixes a regression since v6.0 (Jan Kara) - Fix bitmap offset types, which fixes an issue introduced in this merge window (Jonathan Derrick) - Cleanup of hweight type used for cgroup writeback (Maxim) - Fix a regression with the "has_submit_bio" changes across partitions (Ming) - Cleanup of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM clearing. We used to set this flag on queues non blk-mq queues, and hence some drivers clear it unconditionally. Since all of these have since been converted to true blk-mq drivers, drop the useless clear as the bit is not set (Chaitanya) - Fix the flags being set in a bio for a flush for drbd (Christoph) - Cleanup and deduplication of the code handling setting block device capacity (Damien) - Fix for ublk handling IO timeouts (Ming) - Fix for a regression in blk-cgroup teardown (Tao) - NBD documentation and code fixes (Eric) - Convert blk-integrity to using device_attributes rather than a second kobject to manage lifetimes (Thomas) Please pull!
