Merge branch 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the block driver pull request for this merge window. It sits on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out. This contains: - A set of fixes for lightnvm. One from Alan, fixing an overflow, and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias. - A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider. - A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai. - A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart. - Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has transferred ownership. - Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler. - Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad. - Removal of the cpqarray driver. It has been disabled in Kconfig since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15. - Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being: - Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a watchdog timer instead. From Christoph. - Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith. - Set of cleanups from Ming Lin. - Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying PCI device name, from Sagi. - And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects in this area" * 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (49 commits) NVMe: Expose ns wwid through single sysfs entry drivers:block: cpqarray clean up brd: Fix discard request processing cpqarray: remove it from the kernel cciss: update MAINTAINERS NVMe: Remove unused sq_head read in completion path bcache: fix cache_set_flush() NULL pointer dereference on OOM bcache: cleaned up error handling around register_cache() bcache: fix race of writeback thread starting before complete initialization NVMe: Create discard zero quirk white list nbd: use correct div_s64 helper mtip32xx: remove unneeded variable in mtip_cmd_timeout() lightnvm: generalize rrpc ppa calculations lightnvm: remove struct nvm_dev->total_blocks lightnvm: rename ->nr_pages to ->nr_sects lightnvm: update closed list outside of intr context xen/blback: Fit the important information of the thread in 17 characters lightnvm: fold get bb tbl when using dual/quad plane mode lightnvm: fix up nonsensical configure overrun checking xen-blkback: advertise indirect segment support earlier ...

-This driver is for Compaq's SMART2 Intelligent Disk Array Controllers.
-
-Supported Cards:
-----------------
-
-This driver is known to work with the following cards:
-
- * SMART (EISA)
- * SMART-2/E (EISA)
- * SMART-2/P
- * SMART-2DH
- * SMART-2SL
- * SMART-221
- * SMART-3100ES
- * SMART-3200
- * Integrated Smart Array Controller
- * SA 4200
- * SA 4250ES
- * SA 431
- * RAID LC2 Controller
-
-It should also work with some really old Disk array adapters, but I am
-unable to test against these cards:
-
- * IDA
- * IDA-2
- * IAES
-
-
-EISA Controllers:
------------------
-
-If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some
-modprobe/lilo parameters. If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must
-give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not
-necessary to specify the IRQ). For example, if you had two SMART-2/E
-controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like
-this:
-
- smart2=0x1000,0x2000
-
-If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this:
-
- modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000
-
-You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time.
-
-
-Device Naming:
---------------
-
-You need some entries in /dev for the ida device. MAKEDEV in the /dev
-directory can make device nodes for you automatically. The device setup is
-as follows:
-
-Major numbers:
- 72 ida0
- 73 ida1
- 74 ida2
- 75 ida3
- 76 ida4
- 77 ida5
- 78 ida6
- 79 ida7
-
-Minor numbers:
- b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0
- |----+----| |----+----|
- | |
- | +-------- Partition ID (0=wholedev, 1-15 partition)
- |
- +-------------------- Logical Volume number
-
-The device naming scheme is:
-/dev/ida/c0d0 Controller 0, disk 0, whole device
-/dev/ida/c0d0p1 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1
-/dev/ida/c0d0p2 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2
-/dev/ida/c0d0p3 Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3
-
-/dev/ida/c1d1 Controller 1, disk 1, whole device
-/dev/ida/c1d1p1 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1
-/dev/ida/c1d1p2 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2
-/dev/ida/c1d1p3 Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3
