Merge tag 'for-4.20/block-20181021' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block changes for 4.20. This
  contains:

   - Series enabling runtime PM for blk-mq (Bart).

   - Two pull requests from Christoph for NVMe, with items such as;
      - Better AEN tracking
      - Multipath improvements
      - RDMA fixes
      - Rework of FC for target removal
      - Fixes for issues identified by static checkers
      - Fabric cleanups, as prep for TCP transport
      - Various cleanups and bug fixes

   - Block merging cleanups (Christoph)

   - Conversion of drivers to generic DMA mapping API (Christoph)

   - Series fixing ref count issues with blkcg (Dennis)

   - Series improving BFQ heuristics (Paolo, et al)

   - Series improving heuristics for the Kyber IO scheduler (Omar)

   - Removal of dangerous bio_rewind_iter() API (Ming)

   - Apply single queue IPI redirection logic to blk-mq (Ming)

   - Set of fixes and improvements for bcache (Coly et al)

   - Series closing a hotplug race with sysfs group attributes (Hannes)

   - Set of patches for lightnvm:
      - pblk trace support (Hans)
      - SPDX license header update (Javier)
      - Tons of refactoring patches to cleanly abstract the 1.2 and 2.0
        specs behind a common core interface. (Javier, Matias)
      - Enable pblk to use a common interface to retrieve chunk metadata
        (Matias)
      - Bug fixes (Various)

   - Set of fixes and updates to the blk IO latency target (Josef)

   - blk-mq queue number updates fixes (Jianchao)

   - Convert a bunch of drivers from the old legacy IO interface to
     blk-mq. This will conclude with the removal of the legacy IO
     interface itself in 4.21, with the rest of the drivers (me, Omar)

   - Removal of the DAC960 driver. The SCSI tree will introduce two
     replacement drivers for this (Hannes)"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
