    Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
     "This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.
    
      Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
      Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
      time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
      week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.
    
      This contains:
    
       - Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)
    
       - Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)
    
       - Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)
    
       - bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
          * Optimizations for writeback caching
          * Various fixes and improvements
    
       - nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
          * host and target support for NVMe over TCP
          * Error log page support
          * Support for separate read/write/poll queues
          * Much improved polling
          * discard OOM fallback
          * Tracepoint improvements
    
       - lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
          * Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
            per LBA can be used as well.
          * Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
          * Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
          * Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
            code.
          * Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
          * Small geometry cleanup from me.
    
       - Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
         blk-mq (me)
    
       - Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)
    
       - Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)
    
       - Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
         blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
         have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
         completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
         Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
         coming in the next release.
    
       - Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)
    
       - Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)
    
       - Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)
    
       - sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)
    
       - IO priority improvements (Damien)
    
       - mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)
    
       - Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)
    
       - Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)
    
       - sbitmap scalability improvements (me)
    
       - Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)
    
       - Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)
    
       - Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)
    
       - Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
         (Ming)
    
       - Lots of other fixes and improvements"
