Merge tag 'for-5.1/block-20190302' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"Not a huge amount of changes in this round, the biggest one is that we
finally have Mings multi-page bvec support merged. Apart from that,
this pull request contains:
- Small series that avoids quiescing the queue for sysfs changes that
match what we currently have (Aleksei)
- Series of bcache fixes (via Coly)
- Series of lightnvm fixes (via Mathias)
- NVMe pull request from Christoph. Nothing major, just SPDX/license
cleanups, RR mp policy (Hannes), and little fixes (Bart,
Chaitanya).
- BFQ series (Paolo)
- Save blk-mq cpu -> hw queue mapping, removing a pointer indirection
for the fast path (Jianchao)
- fops->iopoll() added for async IO polling, this is a feature that
the upcoming io_uring interface will use (Christoph, me)
- Partition scan loop fixes (Dongli)
- mtip32xx conversion from managed resource API (Christoph)
- cdrom registration race fix (Guenter)
- MD pull from Song, two minor fixes.
- Various documentation fixes (Marcos)
- Multi-page bvec feature. This brings a lot of nice improvements
with it, like more efficient splitting, larger IOs can be supported
without growing the bvec table size, and so on. (Ming)
- Various little fixes to core and drivers"

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.
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.
