Merge branch 'for-3.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block core bits from Jens Axboe:
"It's a nice and quiet round this time, since most of the tricky stuff
has been pushed to 3.5 to give it more time to mature. After a few
hectic block IO core changes for 3.3 and 3.2, I'm quite happy with a
slow round.
Really minor stuff in here, the only real functional change is making
the auto-unplug threshold a per-queue entity. The threshold is set so
that it's low enough that we don't hold off IO for too long, but still
big enough to get a nice benefit from the batched insert (and hence
queue lock cost reduction). For raid configurations, this currently
breaks down."
* 'for-3.4/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
block: make auto block plug flush threshold per-disk based
Documentation: Add sysfs ABI change for cfq's target latency.
block: Make cfq_target_latency tunable through sysfs.
block: use lockdep_assert_held for queue locking
block: blk_alloc_queue_node(): use caller's GFP flags instead of GFP_KERNEL
