* 'for-3.2/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (29 commits)
  block: don't call blk_drain_queue() if elevator is not up
  blk-throttle: use queue_is_locked() instead of lockdep_is_held()
  blk-throttle: Take blkcg-&gt;lock while traversing blkcg-&gt;policy_list
  blk-throttle: Free up policy node associated with deleted rule
  block: warn if tag is greater than real_max_depth.
  block: make gendisk hold a reference to its queue
  blk-flush: move the queue kick into
  blk-flush: fix invalid BUG_ON in blk_insert_flush
  block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.
  block: fix a typo in the blk-cgroup.h file
  block: initialize the bounce pool if high memory may be added later
  block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown
  block: drop @tsk from attempt_plug_merge() and explain sync rules
  block: make get_request[_wait]() fail if queue is dead
  block: reorganize throtl_get_tg() and blk_throtl_bio()
  block: reorganize queue draining
  block: drop unnecessary blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and blk_get_tg()
  block: pass around REQ_* flags instead of broken down booleans during request alloc/free
  block: move blk_throtl prototypes to block/blk.h
  block: fix genhd refcounting in blkio_policy_parse_and_set()
  ...

Fix up trivial conflicts due to "mddev_t" -&gt; "struct mddev" conversion
and making the request functions be of type "void" instead of "int" in
 - drivers/md/{faulty.c,linear.c,md.c,md.h,multipath.c,raid0.c,raid1.c,raid10.c,raid5.c}

The buffer for read configuration data has to be initialized with an
EBCDIC string to show support for extended UIDs to z/VM.
If this read configuration data CQR needs to be retried, the buffer
may have changed in between. So re-initialize the buffer to get a
correct extended UID under z/VM.

After terminating a request in the dasd_sleep_on_immediatly function,
wait for the clear interrupt to be received before starting the
new request. This prevents the requests from getting mixed up.

<title>[S390] fix mismatch in summation of I/O IRQ statistics</title>

<id>de400d6b78d15a73023485f050bc6b1709dc7a79</id>
<content type='text'>
Current IRQ statistics support does not show detail counts for I/O
interrupts which are processed internally only. The result is a
summation count which is way off such as this one:

           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2
I/O:       1331        710        442
[...]
QAI:         15         16         16   [I/O] QDIO Adapter Interrupt
QDI:          1          0          0   [I/O] QDIO Interrupt
DAS:        706        645        381   [I/O] DASD
C15:         26         10          0   [I/O] 3215
C70:          0          0          0   [I/O] 3270
TAP:          0          0          0   [I/O] Tape
VMR:          0          0          0   [I/O] Unit Record Devices
LCS:          0          0          0   [I/O] LCS
CLW:          0          0          0   [I/O] CLAW
CTC:          0          0          0   [I/O] CTC
APB:          0          0          0   [I/O] AP Bus

Fix this by moving I/O interrupt accounting into the common I/O layer.

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a -&gt;make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from -&gt;make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

To use raw track access some special storage server commands are
needed. Older storage hardware may not support these commands.
So check if raw track access is possible while setting the DASD
online.
