Merge branch 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block driver pull request for this merge window. It sits
on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.
This contains:
- A set of fixes for lightnvm. One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.
- A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.
- A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.
- A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.
- Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
transferred ownership.
- Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.
- Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.
- Removal of the cpqarray driver. It has been disabled in Kconfig
since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.
- Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:
- Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.
- Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.
- Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.
- Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
PCI device name, from Sagi.
- And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
in this area"
