Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - NVMe pull request via Keith:
      - Improve quirk visibility and configurability (Maurizio)
      - Fix runtime user modification to queue setup (Keith)
      - Fix multipath leak on try_module_get failure (Keith)
      - Ignore ambiguous spec definitions for better atomics support
        (John)
      - Fix admin queue leak on controller reset (Ming)
      - Fix large allocation in persistent reservation read keys
        (Sungwoo Kim)
      - Fix fcloop callback handling (Justin)
      - Securely free DHCHAP secrets (Daniel)
      - Various cleanups and typo fixes (John, Wilfred)

 - Avoid a circular lock dependency issue in the sysfs nr_requests or
   scheduler store handling

 - Fix a circular lock dependency with the pcpu mutex and the queue
   freeze lock

 - Cleanup for bio_copy_kern(), using __bio_add_page() rather than the
   bio_add_page(), as adding a page here cannot fail. The exiting code
   had broken cleanup for the error condition, so make it clear that the
   error condition cannot happen

 - Fix for a __this_cpu_read() in preemptible context splat

Use trylock instead of blocking lock acquisition for update_nr_hwq_lock
in queue_requests_store() and elv_iosched_store() to avoid circular lock
dependency with kernfs active reference during concurrent disk deletion:

  update_nr_hwq_lock -&gt; kn-&gt;active (via del_gendisk -&gt; kobject_del)
  kn-&gt;active -&gt; update_nr_hwq_lock (via sysfs write path)

Return -EBUSY when the lock is not immediately available.

Since the bio is allocated with the exact number of pages needed via
blk_rq_map_bio_alloc(), and the loop iterates exactly that many times,
bio_add_page() cannot fail due to insufficient space.  Switch to
__bio_add_page() and remove the dead error handling code.

While nr_hw_update allocates tagset tags it acquires -&gt;pcpu_alloc_mutex
after -&gt;freeze_lock is acquired or queue is frozen. This potentially
creates a circular dependency involving -&gt;fs_reclaim if reclaim is
triggered simultaneously in a code path which first acquires -&gt;pcpu_
alloc_mutex. As the queue is already frozen while nr_hw_queue update
allocates tagsets, the reclaim can't forward progress and thus it could
cause a potential deadlock as reported in lockdep splat[1].

Fix this by pre-allocating tagset tags before we freeze queue during
nr_hw_queue update. Later the allocated tagset tags could be safely
installed and used after queue is frozen.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<title>Convert 'alloc_obj' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

<title>blk-mq: use NOIO context to prevent deadlock during debugfs creation</title>

Creating debugfs entries can trigger fs reclaim, which can enter back
into the block layer request_queue. This can cause deadlock if the
queue is frozen.

Previously, a WARN_ON_ONCE check was used in debugfs_create_files()
to detect this condition, but it was racy since the queue can be frozen
from another context at any time.

Introduce blk_debugfs_lock()/blk_debugfs_unlock() helpers that combine
the debugfs_mutex with memalloc_noio_save()/restore() to prevent fs
reclaim from triggering block I/O. Also add blk_debugfs_lock_nomemsave()
and blk_debugfs_unlock_nomemrestore() variants for callers that don't
need NOIO protection (e.g., debugfs removal or read-only operations).

Replace all raw debugfs_mutex lock/unlock pairs with these helpers,
using the _nomemsave/_nomemrestore variants where appropriate.
