Merge branch 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

   - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
     scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
     shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited
     depth for that"

-      If the filesystem wants to use the application tag space it will
-      first have to find out how much storage space is available.
-      Because tag space is generally limited (usually 2 bytes per

-      supports interleaving the information between the sectors in an
-      I/O.

-      Filesystems can call bio_integrity_tag_size(bio) to find out how
