Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block layer changes in 4.9.

  As mentioned at the last merge window, I've changed things up and now
  do just one branch for core block layer changes, and driver changes.
  This avoids dependencies between the two branches. Outside of this
  main pull request, there are two topical branches coming as well.

  This pull request contains:

   - A set of fixes, and a conversion to blk-mq, of nbd. From Josef.

   - Set of fixes and updates for lightnvm from Matias, Simon, and Arnd.
     Followup dependency fix from Geert.

   - General fixes from Bart, Baoyou, Guoqing, and Linus W.

   - CFQ async write starvation fix from Glauber.

   - Add supprot for delayed kick of the requeue list, from Mike.

   - Pull out the scalable bitmap code from blk-mq-tag.c and make it
     generally available under the name of sbitmap. Only blk-mq-tag uses
     it for now, but the blk-mq scheduling bits will use it as well.
     From Omar.

   - bdev thaw error progagation from Pierre.

   - Improve the blk polling statistics, and allow the user to clear
     them. From Stephen.

   - Set of minor cleanups from Christoph in block/blk-mq.

   - Set of cleanups and optimizations from me for block/blk-mq.

   - Various nvme/nvmet/nvmeof fixes from the various folks"

  ...

For a host to access an Open-Channel SSD, it has to know its geometry,
so that it writes and reads at the appropriate device bounds.

Currently, the geometry information is kept within the kernel, and not
exported to user-space for consumption. This patch exposes the
configuration through sysfs and enables user-space libraries, such as
liblightnvm, to use the sysfs implementation to get the geometry of an
Open-Channel SSD.

The sysfs entries are stored within the device hierarchy, and can be
found using the "lightnvm" device type.

An example configuration looks like this:

LightNVM compatible device drivers does not have a method to expose
LightNVM specific sysfs entries.

To enable LightNVM sysfs entries to be exposed, lightnvm device
drivers require a struct device to attach it to. To allow both the
actual device driver and lightnvm sysfs entries to coexist, the device
driver tracks the lifetime of the nvm_dev structure.

This patch refactors NVMe and null_blk to handle the lifetime of struct
nvm_dev, which eliminates the need for struct gendisk when a lightnvm
compatible device is provided.

With LightNVM enabled namespaces, the gendisk structure is not exposed
to the user. This prevents LightNVM users from accessing the NVMe device
driver specific sysfs entries, and LightNVM namespace geometry.

Refactor the revalidation process, so that a namespace, instead of a
gendisk, is revalidated. This later allows patches to wire up the
sysfs entries up to a non-gendisk namespace.

This patch removes module_init()/module_exit() from driver code by using
module_misc_device() macro. All modules in this patch has a print
statement which is removed when module_misc_device() macro is used.
If undesirable this patch can be dropped entirely, this is the only
purpose of making this as a separate patch.

The passed by reference ppa list in nvm_set_rqd_list() is updated when
multiple planes are available. In that case, each PPA plane is
incremented when the device side PPA list is created. This prevents the
caller to rely on the PPA list to be unmodified after a call.

The [get/put]_blk API enables targets to get ownership of blocks at
runtime. This information is currently not recorded on disk, and the
information is therefore lost on power failure. To restore the
metadata, the [get/put]_blk must persist its metadata. In that case,
we need to control the outer lock, so that we can disable them while
updating the on-disk metadata. Fortunately, the _unlocked versions can
be removed, which allows us to move the lock into the [get/put]_blk
functions.

If a media manager tries to initialize it targets upon media manager
initialization, the media manager will need to know which target types
are available in LightNVM. The lists of which managers and target types
are available shares the same lock.

Therefore, on initialization, the nvm_lock is taken by LightNVM core,
which later leads to a deadlock when target types are enumerated by the
media manager.

Add an exclusive lock for target types to resolve this conflict.

To enable persistent block management to easily control creation and
removal of targets, we move target management into the media
manager. The LightNVM core continues to maintain which target types are
registered, while the media manager now keeps track of its initialized
targets.

Two new callbacks for the media manager are introduced. create_tgt and
remove_tgt. Note that remove_tgt returns 0 on successfully removing a
target, and returns 1 if the target was not found.
