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
