Merge tag 'v5.1-rc6' into for-5.2/block
Pull in v5.1-rc6 to resolve two conflicts. One is in BFQ, in just a comment, and is trivial. The other one is a conflict due to a later fix in the bio multi-page work, and needs a bit more care. * tag 'v5.1-rc6': (770 commits) Linux 5.1-rc6 block: make sure that bvec length can't be overflow block: kill all_q_node in request_queue x86/cpu/intel: Lower the "ENERGY_PERF_BIAS: Set to normal" message's log priority coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping mm/kmemleak.c: fix unused-function warning init: initialize jump labels before command line option parsing kernel/watchdog_hld.c: hard lockup message should end with a newline kcov: improve CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_KCOV help text mm: fix inactive list balancing between NUMA nodes and cgroups mm/hotplug: treat CMA pages as unmovable proc: fixup proc-pid-vm test proc: fix map_files test on F29 mm/vmstat.c: fix /proc/vmstat format for CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH=y CONFIG_SMP=n mm/memory_hotplug: do not unlock after failing to take the device_hotplug_lock mm: swapoff: shmem_unuse() stop eviction without igrab() mm: swapoff: take notice of completion sooner mm: swapoff: remove too limiting SWAP_UNUSE_MAX_TRIES mm: swapoff: shmem_find_swap_entries() filter out other types slab: store tagged freelist for off-slab slabmgmt ...
