There's no need to set the disk capacity with the mutex held, so this
commit takes the variable setting out of the mutex. This simplifies
the disk capacity fix for very large volumes in a follow up commit.

Currently, ubiblock_resize() can fail if the device is not found
in the list. This commit changes the return type, so the function can
return something meaningful on error paths.

<title>UBI: init_volumes: Ignore volumes with no LEBs</title>

UBI assumes that ubi_attach_info will only contain ubi_ainf_volume
structures for volumes with at least one LEB.
In scanning mode this is true because UBI can nicely create a ubi_ainf_volume
on demand while creating the EBA table.

For fastmap this is not true, the fastmap on-flash structure has a list of
all volumes, the ubi_ainf_volume structures are created from this list.
So it can happen that an empty volume ends up in init_volumes().

We can easely deal with that by looking into -&gt;leb_count too.

The return value from 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()' was stored in 'err', not in 'ret'.
This fix makes sure Fastmap-enabled UBI does not miss bit-flip while reading EC
headers, events and scrubs the affected PEBs.

This issue was reported by Coverity Scan.

Artem: improved the commit message.

Commig "604b592 UBI: fix rb_tree node comparison in add_map"

cannot be mounted anymore. The reason is that it changes the

 "This contains several UBIFS fixes.  One of them fixes a race condition
  between the mmap page fault path and fsync.  Another just removes a
  bogus assertion from the UBIFS memory shrinker.

  UBIFS also started honoring the MS_SILENT mount flag, so now it won't
  print many I/O errors when user-space just tries to probe for the FS.

  Rest of the changes are rather minor UBI/UBIFS fixes, improvements,
  and clean-ups"

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
  into blk-mq in the last 3 months.  Generally we're heading to where
  3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq.  scsi-mq is
  progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17.  A nvme port is in
  progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
  and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.

  This pull request contains:

   - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
     All from Christoph.

   - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.

   - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
     blk-mq from Ming Lei.

   - A flew of blk-mq updates from me:

     * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
       to queue mapping.  This enables optimizations in the driver.

     * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
       really worked well for blk-mq.  percpu_ida relies on the fact
       that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
       fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
       exhausting) the tag space.

     * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq

     * Various fixes for IO timeouts.

     * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.

   - Remove 'buffer' from struct request.  This is ancient code, from
     when requests were always virtually mapped.  Kill it, to reclaim
     some space in struct request.  From me.

   - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug.  Since we store these on the stack
     and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
     get rid of it.  From me.

   - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
     atomic reads.  Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
     the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
     IO on blk-mq.  From me.

   - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/.  This
     includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c.  From me,
     from a discussion on lkml.

  That should describe the meat of the pull request.  Also has various
  little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
  Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
  Bradshaw"

* 'for-3.16/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (100 commits)
  blk-mq: push IPI or local end_io decision to __blk_mq_complete_request()
  blk-mq: remember to start timeout handler for direct queue
  block: ensure that the timer is always added
  blk-mq: blk_mq_unregister_hctx() can be static
  blk-mq: make the sysfs mq/ layout reflect current mappings
  blk-mq: blk_mq_tag_to_rq should handle flush request
  block: remove dead code in scsi_ioctl:blk_verify_command
  blk-mq: request initialization optimizations
