Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: "A small collection of fixes for the current rc series. This contains: - Two small blk-mq patches from Rob Elliott, cleaning up error case at init time. - A fix from Ming Lei, fixing SG merging for blk-mq where QUEUE_FLAG_SG_NO_MERGE is the default. - A dev_t minor lifetime fix from Keith, fixing an issue where a minor might be reused before all references to it were gone. - Fix from Alan Stern where an unbalanced queue bypass caused SCSI some headaches when it does a series of add/del on devices without fully registrering the queue. - A fix from me for improving the scaling of tag depth in blk-mq if we are short on memory" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk-mq: scale depth and rq map appropriate if low on memory Block: fix unbalanced bypass-disable in blk_register_queue block: Fix dev_t minor allocation lifetime blk-mq: cleanup after blk_mq_init_rq_map failures blk-mq: pass along blk_mq_alloc_tag_set return values blk-merge: fix blk_recount_segments

rbd: fix error return code in rbd_dev_device_setup()

blk-mq: pass along blk_mq_alloc_tag_set return values

2014-09-02T21:39:03Z

Two of the blk-mq based drivers do not pass back the return value from blk_mq_alloc_tag_set, instead just returning -ENOMEM. blk_mq_alloc_tag_set returns -EINVAL if the number of queues or queue depth is bad. -ENOMEM implies that retrying after freeing some memory might be more successful, but that won't ever change in the -EINVAL cases. Change the null_blk and mtip32xx drivers to pass along the return value. Signed-off-by: Robert Elliott Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

zram: fix incorrect stat with failed_reads

2014-08-29T23:28:16Z

Since we allocate a temporary buffer in zram_bvec_read to handle partial page operations in commit 924bd88d703e ("Staging: zram: allow partial page operations"), our ->failed_reads value may be incorrect as we do not increase its value when failing to allocate the temporary buffer. Let's fix this issue and correct the annotation of failed_reads.

brd: add ram disk visibility option

2014-08-22T01:42:01Z

Currenly ram disk is not visiable inside /proc/partitions. This was done for compatibility reasons here: 53978d0a7a27. But some utilities expect disk presents in /proc/partitions. Let's add module's option and let's administrator chose visibility behaviour. By default, old behaviour preserved. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: systemace: Remove .owner field for driver

2014-08-22T01:37:54Z

There is no need to init .owner field. Based on the patch from Peter Griffin "mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver" This patch removes the superflous .owner field for drivers which use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overriden in platform_driver_register anyway."

Pull DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE removal from Bjorn Helgaas: "Part two of the PCI changes for v3.17: - Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use (Benoit Taine) It's a mechanical change that removes uses of the DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro.

No new features, just a lot of fixes. - The usual round of drbd updates from Andreas Gruenbacher, Lars Ellenberg, and Philipp Reisner. - virtio_blk was converted to blk-mq back in 3.13, but now Ming Lei has taken it one step further and added support for actually using more than one queue. - Addition of an explicit SG_FLAG_Q_AT_HEAD for block/bsg, to compliment the the default behavior of adding to the tail of the queue.
