Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
     - FC target fixes (Daniel)
     - Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
     - Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
     - Target lockdep assertions (Max)
     - Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
     - Suspend quirk (Georg)

 - MD pull request via Yu:
     - Add support for a lockless bitmap.

       A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
       lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
       bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
       to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
       writes.

       By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
       case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
       need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

 - Switch -&gt;getgeo() and -&gt;bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
   than struct block_device.

 - Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
   configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
   includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
   cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.

   The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
   `kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
   to support the same use as the removed logic.

 - floppy arch cleanups

 - Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands

 - Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
   of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
   setups.

 - A few s390 dasd block fixes

 - Fix a few issues around atomic writes

 - Improve DMA interation for integrity requests

 - Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
   constraints.

   We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
   only the request as a whole needs to.

 - Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
   payloads

 - Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate

 - Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

 - Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs

 - Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

 - Various fixes and cleanups

<content type='text'>
When register_virtio_device() fails in virtio_uml_probe(),
the code sets vu_dev-&gt;registered = 1 even though
the device was not successfully registered.
This can lead to use-after-free or other issues.

Add the missing option name in the help message. Additionally,
switch to __uml_help(), because this is a global option rather
than a per-channel option.

Some help messages are missing a trailing newline. They should
end with two newlines, but only one is present. Add the missing
newline to make the --help output more readable.

We don't want queues stopped since the shutdown can still
be doing things with PCI devices, so implement .shutdown()
to avoid the generic virtio shutdown.

Instances are happier that way and it makes more sense anyway -
the only part of the result that is related to partition we are given
is the start sector, and that has been filled in by the caller.

Everything else is a function of the disk.  Only one instance
(DASD) is ever looking at anything other than bdev-&gt;bd_disk and
that one is trivial to adjust.

It can be used when we want to pass through PCI devices to UML
while it's up and running. PCI devices can be passed through to
UML using the same syntax as the command line option:

(mconsole) config vfio_uml.device=&lt;domain:bus:slot.function&gt;

Remove the declaration of 'err' inside the 'if (timetravel)' block,
as it would otherwise be unavailable outside that block, potentially
leading to uml_rtc_start() returning an uninitialized value.
