Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A collection of fixes from the past few weeks that should go into 4.5.
  This contains:

   - Overflow fix for sysfs discard show function from Alan.

   - A stacking limit init fix for max_dev_sectors, so we don't end up
     artificially capping some use cases.  From Keith.

   - Have blk-mq proper end unstarted requests on a dying queue, instead
     of pushing that to the driver.  From Keith.

   - NVMe:
        - Update to Kconfig description for NVME_SCSI, since it was
          vague and having it on is important for some SUSE distros.
          From Christoph.
        - Set of fixes from Keith, around surprise removal. Also kills
          the no-merge flag, so it supports merging.

   - Set of fixes for lightnvm from Matias, Javier, and Wenwei.

   - Fix null_blk oops when asked for lightnvm, but not available.  From
     Matias.

   - Copy-to-user EINTR fix from Hannes, fixing a case where SG_IO fails
     if interrupted by a signal.

   - Two floppy fixes from Jiri, fixing signal handling and blocking
     open.

   - A use-after-free fix for O_DIRECT, from Mike Krinkin.

   - A block module ref count fix from Roman Pen.

   - An fs IO wait accounting fix for O_DSYNC from Stephane Gasparini.

   - Smaller reallo fix for xen-blkfront from Bob Liu.

   - Removal of an unused struct member in the deadline IO scheduler,
     from Tahsin.

   - Also from Tahsin, properly initialize inode struct members
     associated with cgroup writeback, if enabled.

   - From Tejun, ensure that we keep the superblock pinned during cgroup
     writeback"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (25 commits)
  blk: fix overflow in queue_discard_max_hw_show

Commit 35dc248383bbab0a7203fca4d722875bc81ef091 introduced a check for
current-&gt;mm to see if we have a user space context and only copies data
if we do. Now if an IO gets interrupted by a signal data isn't copied
into user space any more (as we don't have a user space context) but
user space isn't notified about it.

This patch modifies the behaviour to return -EINTR from bio_uncopy_user()
to notify userland that a signal has interrupted the syscall, otherwise
it could lead to a situation where the caller may get a buffer with
no data returned.

This can be reproduced by issuing SG_IO ioctl()s in one thread while
constantly sending signals to it.

<title>block: fix module reference leak on put_disk() call for cgroups throttle</title>

get_disk(),get_gendisk() calls have non explicit side effect: they
increase the reference on the disk owner module.

The following is the correct sequence how to get a disk reference and
to put it:

    disk = get_gendisk(...);

    /* use disk */

    owner = disk-&gt;fops-&gt;owner;
    put_disk(disk);
    module_put(owner);

fs/block_dev.c is aware of this required module_put() call, but f.e.
blkg_conf_finish(), which is located in block/blk-cgroup.c, does not put
a module reference.  To see a leakage in action cgroups throttle config
can be used.  In the following script I'm removing throttle for /dev/ram0
(actually this is NOP, because throttle was never set for this device):

    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  0
    # i=100; while [ $i -gt 0 ]; do echo "1:0 0" &gt; \
        /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device; i=$(($i - 1)); \
    done
    # lsmod | grep brd
    brd                     5175  100

Now brd module has 100 references.

The issue is fixed by calling module_put() just right away put_disk().

 When a process is doing Random Write with O_DSYNC flag
 the I/O wait are not accounted in the kernel (get_cpu_iowait_time_us).
 This is preventing the governor or the cpufreq driver to account for
 I/O wait and thus use the right pstate

When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write
same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block
layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or
failing the path.

Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued
simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because
any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the
device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block
layer to return -EIO upon completion.

To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this
is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to
return -EREMOTEIO in that case.
