Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo:

 - a number of libata core changes to better support NCQ TRIM.

 - ahci now supports MSI-X in single IRQ mode to support a new
   controller which doesn't implement MSI or INTX.

 - ahci now supports edge-triggered IRQ mode to support a new controller
   which for some odd reason did edge-triggered IRQ.

 - the usual controller support additions and changes.

  been rewritten to get rid of the warning about converting it to the

'0' is now used as the default cmd_per_lun value,
so there's no need to explicitly set it to '1' in the
host template.

<content type='text'>
Some devices advertise support for the READ/WRITE LOG DMA EXT commands
but fail when we try to issue them. This can lead to queued TRIM being
unintentionally disabled since the relevant feature flag is located in a
general purpose log page.

Fall back to unqueued READ LOG EXT if the DMA variant fails while
reading a log page.

<title>libata: Ignore spurious PHY event on LPM policy change</title>

<content type='text'>
When the LPM policy is set to ATA_LPM_MAX_POWER, the device might
generate a spurious PHY event that cuases errors on the link.
Ignore this event if it occured within 10s after the policy change.

The timeout was chosen observing that on a Dell XPS13 9333 these
spurious events can occur up to roughly 6s after the policy change.

<content type='text'>
sata_sil24 for some reason pukes when tags are allocated round-robin
which helps tag ordered controllers.  To work around the issue,
72dd299d5039 ("libata: allow sata_sil24 to opt-out of tag ordered
submission") introduced ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG which tells libata tag
allocation to do lowest-first.

However, with the recent switch to blk-mq tag allocation, the liata
tag allocation code path is no longer used and the workaround is now
implemented in the block layer and selected by setting
scsi_host_template-&gt;tag_alloc_policy to BLK_TAG_ALLOC_FIFO.  See
9269e23496dd ("libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator").

This leaves ATA_FLAG_LOWTAG withoout any actual user.  Remove it.

<title>ata: Add a new flag to destinguish sas controller</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5067c0469c643512f24786990e315f9c15cc7d24</id>
<content type='text'>
SAS controller has its own tag allocation, which doesn't directly match to ATA
tag, so SAS and SATA have different code path for ata tags. Originally we use
port-&gt;scsi_host (98bd4be1) to destinguish SAS controller, but libsas set
-&gt;scsi_host too, so we can't use it for the destinguish, we add a new flag for
this purpose.

Without this patch, the following oops can happen because scsi-mq uses
a host-wide tag map shared among all devices with some integer tag
values &gt;= ATA_MAX_QUEUE.  These unexpectedly high tag values cause
__ata_qc_from_tag() to return NULL, which is then dereferenced in
ata_qc_new_init().

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This contains:

   - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew.

   - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau
     Monne.

   - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation.

   - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing
     code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata.  This will
     throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata
     tagging code was fixed since this code was branched.  Trivial.
     From Shaohua.

   - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei.

   - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra.
     He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a
     beer.

   - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann.

   - NVMe:
        - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for
          smaller (&lt;= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU
          overhead.
        - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was
          converted to blk-mq"
