Pull MTD updates from Brian Norris:
 "Common MTD:

   - Add Kconfig option for keeping both the 'master' and 'partition'
     MTDs registered as devices.  This would really make a better
     default if we could do it over, as it allows a lot more flexibility
     in (1) determining the flash topology of the system from user-space
     and (2) adding temporary partitions at runtime (ioctl(BLKPG)).

     Unfortunately, this would possibly cause user-space breakage, as it
     will cause renumbering of the /dev/mtdX devices.  We'll see if we
     can change this in the future, as there have already been a few
     people looking for this feature, and I know others have just been
     working around our current limitations instead of fixing them this
     way.

   - Along with the previous change, add some additional information to
     sysfs, so user-space can read the offset of each partition within
     its master device

  SPI NOR:

   - add new device tree compatible binding to represent the
     mostly-compatible class of SPI NOR flash which can be detected by
     their extended JEDEC ID bytes, cutting down the duplication of our
     ID tables

   - misc.  new IDs

  Various other miscellaneous fixes and changes"

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - the most extensive changes this cycle are the DM core improvements to
   add full blk-mq support to request-based DM.

    - disabled by default but user can opt-in with CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT
    - depends on some blk-mq changes from Jens' for-4.1/core branch so
      that explains why this pull is built on linux-block.git

 - update DM to use name_to_dev_t() rather than open-coding a less
   capable device parser.

    - includes a couple small improvements to name_to_dev_t() that offer
      stricter constraints that DM's code provided.

 - improvements to the dm-cache "mq" cache replacement policy.

 - a DM crypt crypt_ctr() error path fix and an async crypto deadlock
   fix

 - a small efficiency improvement for DM crypt decryption by leveraging
   immutable biovecs

 - add error handling modes for corrupted blocks to DM verity

 - a new "log-writes" DM target from Josef Bacik that is meant for file
   system developers to test file system integrity at particular points
   in the life of a file system

 - a few DM log userspace cleanups and fixes

 - a few Documentation fixes (for thin, cache, crypt and switch)

<title>zram: remove `num_migrated' device attr</title>

<id>10447b60bee52f026bdbc5fe2aca52d0492fc91d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch introduces rework to zram stats.  We have per-stat sysfs nodes,
and it makes things a bit hard to use in user space: it doesn't give an
immediate stats 'snapshot', it requires user space to use more syscalls -
open, read, close for every stat file, with appropriate error checks on
every step, etc.

First, zram now accounts block layer statistics, available in
/sys/block/zram&lt;id&gt;/stat and /proc/diskstats files.  So some new stats are
available (see Documentation/block/stat.txt), besides, zram's activities
now can be monitored by sysstat's iostat or similar tools.

Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/stat
248     0    1984    0   251029     0  2008232   5120   0   5116   5116

Second, group currently exported on per-stat basis nodes into two
categories (files):

-- zram&lt;id&gt;/io_stat
accumulates device's IO stats, that are not accounted by block layer,
and contains:
        failed_reads
        failed_writes
        invalid_io
        notify_free

Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/io_stat
0        0        0   652572

-- zram&lt;id&gt;/mm_stat
accumulates zram mm stats and contains:
        orig_data_size
        compr_data_size
        mem_used_total
        mem_limit
        mem_used_max
        zero_pages
        num_migrated

Example:
cat /sys/block/zram0/mm_stat
434634752 270288572 279158784        0 579895296    15060        0

per-stat sysfs nodes are now considered to be deprecated and we plan to
remove them (and clean up some of the existing stat code) in two years (as
of now, there is no warning printed to syslog about deprecated stats being
used).  User space is advised to use the above mentioned 3 files.

This patch (of 7):

Remove sysfs `num_migrated' attribute.  We are moving away from per-stat
device attrs towards 3 stat files that will accumulate io and mm stats in
a format similar to block layer statistics in /sys/block/&lt;dev&gt;/stat.  That
will be easier to use in user space, and reduce the number of syscalls
needed to read zram device statistics.

`num_migrated' will return back in zram&lt;id&gt;/mm_stat file.

Now that zsmalloc supports compaction, zram can use it.  For the first
step, this patch exports compact knob via sysfs so user can do compaction
via "echo 1 &gt; /sys/block/zram0/compact".
