Merge tag 'for-5.16/drivers-2021-11-09' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull more block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
- Last series adding error handling support for add_disk() in drivers.
After this one, and once the SCSI side has been merged, we can
finally annotate add_disk() as must_check. (Luis)
- bcache fixes (Coly)
- zram fixes (Ming)
- ataflop locking fix (Tetsuo)
- nbd fixes (Ye, Yu)
- MD merge via Song
- Cleanup (Yang)
- sysfs fix (Guoqing)
- Misc fixes (Geert, Wu, luo)
