Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Outside of bcache (which really isn't super big), these are all few-liners. There are a few important fixes in here: - Fix blk pm sleeping when holding the queue lock - A small collection of bcache fixes that have been done and tested since bcache was included in this merge window. - A fix for a raid5 regression introduced with the bio changes. - Two important fixes for mtip32xx, fixing an oops and potential data corruption (or hang) due to wrong bio iteration on stacked devices." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: scatterlist: sg_set_buf() argument must be in linear mapping raid5: Initialize bi_vcnt pktcdvd: silence static checker warning block: remove refs to XD disks from documentation blkpm: avoid sleep when holding queue lock mtip32xx: Correctly handle bio->bi_idx != 0 conditions mtip32xx: Fix NULL pointer dereference during module unload bcache: Fix error handling in init code bcache: clarify free/available/unused space bcache: drop "select CLOSURES" bcache: Fix incompatible pointer type warning
