Merge branch 'for-3.11/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block IO updates from Jens Axboe:
 "Here are the core IO block bits for 3.11. It contains:

   - A tweak to the reserved tag logic from Jan, for weirdo devices with
     just 3 free tags.  But for those it improves things substantially
     for random writes.

   - Periodic writeback fix from Jan.  Marked for stable as well.

   - Fix for a race condition in IO scheduler switching from Jianpeng.

   - The hierarchical blk-cgroup support from Tejun.  This is the grunt
     of the series.

   - blk-throttle fix from Vivek.

  Just a note that I'm in the middle of a relocation, whole family is
  flying out tomorrow.  Hence I will be awal the remainder of this week,
  but back at work again on Monday the 15th.  CC'ing Tejun, since any
  potential "surprises" will most likely be from the blk-cgroup work.
  But it's been brewing for a while and sitting in my tree and
  linux-next for a long time, so should be solid."
