Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe updates via Keith:
     - Enable Clang context analysis for the nvme host driver, adding
       context annotations across core, fabrics, rdma, tcp and pci
     - nvmet reservation state exposed through a new namespace-level
       debugfs directory, plus ABI documentation for the host sysfs and
       target configfs interfaces
     - nvme-tcp host memory disclosure fixes on the read path: reject a
       read that transferred too few bytes, don't accept C2HData based
       on blk_rq_payload_bytes() alone, and fix the R2T case for a read
       command
     - Parallelize nvme-rdma I/O queue allocation and startup (Surabhi)
     - Apple nvme fixes and quirks: page aligned admin queue buffers,
       destroy the admin queue on removal, and various DMA/NVMMU
       correctness fixes
     - A large pile of nvmet and host fixes for out-of-bounds reads,
       refcount/resource leaks, and NULL derefs across auth, zns,
       passthru, pci-epf, rdma and configfs
     - Various other fixes and cleanups

 - MD updates via Yu Kuai:
     - llbitmap reshape support, the large series wiring exact bitmap
       mapping and reshape lifecycle through raid5 and raid10, growing
       the page cache in place, and remapping checkpointed bits as
       reshape progresses
     - raid5 fixes for lockless max_nr_stripes and recovery_offset
       accesses, a reshape deadlock with more failed devices than max
       degraded, and bitmap batch counter consistency
     - Atomic write handling for raid1/raid10, and removal of the
       REQ_NOWAIT support from raid1/10/456
     - raid5-ppl use-after-free fix in ppl_do_flush()
     - A batch of smaller fixes across md core and the bitmap code

 - s390/dasd ESE full-track write support and the surrounding
   infrastructure, plus enabling CONTEXT_ANALYSIS for s390/block

 - RWF_DONTCACHE support for block devices, built on new task-context
   bio completion infrastructure, and wiring it up for the iomap and
   buffer dropbehind writeback paths

 - Async io_uring zone reset all, plus zone management command cleanups
   allowing REQ_NOWAIT and tightening conventional zone rejection

 - Block integrity refactoring: lift BIP_CHECK_FLAGS to the shared
   header, handle nogenerate/noverify properly in fs-integrity, and drop
   the blk-integrity.h include from bdev.c

 - Split out a new blk_plug.h header

 - ublk improvements: add UBLK_F_IO_DESC_SIZE, split request validation
   from io_desc init, reject non-power-of-2 zone sizes in SET_PARAMS,
   and a series of hardening fixes around map/unmap and auto buf reg

 - null_blk cleanups and configfs serialization fixes

 - nbd queue freeze removal on the setup paths, and a new
   pre_defined_connections module parameter for pre-created devices

 - blk-cgroup fixes for the race between policy activation and blkg
   destruction, and accounting per-cpu stats over possible CPUs across
   blk-stat, iolatency, iocost and kyber

 - Various dio fixes: leak on metadata mapping error, validate user
   space vectors during extraction, and set dma_alignment from the
   backing file for loop and zloop direct I/O

 - bio cleanups

 - Various other fixes and cleanups all over

<id>51e08eaf954de51b991889a5f5b5b5edcc712c6c</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, io_buffer_register_bvec() takes in a request. In preparation
for supporting kernel-populated buffers in fuse io-uring (which will
need to register bvecs directly, not through a struct request), rename
this to io_buffer_register_request().

A subsequent patch will commandeer the "io_buffer_register_bvec()"
function name to support registering bvecs directly.

Rename io_buffer_unregister_bvec() to a more generic name,
io_buffer_unregister(), as both io_buffer_register_request() and
io_buffer_register_bvec() callers will use it for unregistration.

struct bvec_iter::bi_bvec_done is used an offset in the current bvec,
let's rename it accordingly for better clarity. I also plan to use it
for non-bvec based iteration in the future like dma-buf, so drop the
"bvec" part.

<content type='text'>
The "Objective" section of inline-encryption.rst suggests that
blk-crypto-fallback is just for testing.  That's no longer accurate, so
update it accordingly.  Also fix a typo later in the document.

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
     - Per-controller admin and IO timeout sysfs attributes, and
       letting the block layer set request timeouts (Maurizio,
       Maximilian)
     - Multipath passthrough iostats, and PCI P2PDMA enablement for
       multipath devices (Keith, Kiran)
     - A new diag sysfs attribute group exporting per-controller
       counters (retries, multipath failover, error counters, requeue
       and failure counts, reset and reconnect events) (Nilay)
     - FDP configuration validation and bounds check fixes (liuxixin)
     - Various nvmet fixes, including a pre-auth out-of-bounds read in
       the Discovery Get Log Page handler, auth payload bounds
       validation, and tcp error-path leak fixes (Bryam, Tianchu,
       Geliang)
     - nvme-tcp lockdep and workqueue fixes (Shin'ichiro, Kuniyuki,
       Eric)
     - Assorted other fixes and cleanups (John, Yao, Chao, Mateusz,
       Achkinazi, Wentao)

 - MD pull request via Yu Kuai:
     - raid1/raid10 fixes for a deadlock in the read error recovery
       path, error-path detection and bio accounting with cloned bios,
       and an nr_pending leak in the REQ_ATOMIC bad-block error path
       (Abd-Alrhman)
     - PCI P2PDMA propagation from member devices to the RAID device
       (Kiran)
     - dm-raid bio requeue fix, and various smaller fixes and cleanups
       (Benjamin, Chen, Li, Thorsten)

 - Enable Clang lock context analysis for the block layer, with the
   accompanying annotations across queue limits, the blk_holder_ops
   callbacks, crypto, cgroup, iocost, kyber and mq-deadline (Bart)

 - Block status code infrastructure work: a tagged status table, a
   str_to_blk_op() helper, a bio_endio_status() helper, and on top of
   that a new configurable block-layer error injection facility
   (Christoph)

 - DRBD netlink rework, replacing the genl_magic machinery with explicit
   netlink serialization and moving the DRBD UAPI headers to
   include/uapi/linux/ (Christoph Böhmwalder)

 - bvec improvements: a bvec_folio() helper and making the bvec_iter
   helpers proper inline functions (Willy, Christoph)

 - ublk cleanups and a canceling-flag fix for the disk-not-allocated
   case (Caleb, Ming)

 - Partition handling fixes: bound the AIX pp_count scan, fix an of_node
   refcount leak, and replace __get_free_page() with kmalloc() (Bryam,
   Wentao, Mike)

 - Convert numa_node to int in blk_mq_hw_ctx and -&gt;init_request, and add
   WQ_PERCPU to the block workqueue users (Mateusz, Marco)

 - Block statistics and tracing: propagate in-flight to the whole disk
   on partition IO, export passthrough stats, and a new
   block_rq_tag_wait tracepoint (Tang, Keith, Aaron)

 - A round of removals, unexports and cleanups across bio, direct-io and
   the bvec helpers (Christoph)

 - Various driver fixes (mtip32xx use-after-free, rbd snap_count
   validation and strscpy conversion, nbd socket lockdep reclassify,
   virtio-blk zone report clamp, floppy) and a batch of MAINTAINERS
   email/list updates (Coly, Li, Yu, Christoph Böhmwalder)

 - Other little fixes and cleanups all over
