     side of it.

   - Fix from Ming, clearing -&gt;mq_ops if we don't successfully setup a
     queue for multiqueue.

   - A set of stability fixes for bcache from Jiri, and also marking
     bcache as orphaned as it's no longer actively maintained (in
     mainline, at least)"

Pull misc DAX updates from Vishal Verma:
 "DAX error handling for 4.7

   - Until now, dax has been disabled if media errors were found on any
     device.  This enables the use of DAX in the presence of these
     errors by making all sector-aligned zeroing go through the driver.

   - The driver (already) has the ability to clear errors on writes that
     are sent through the block layer using 'DSMs' defined in ACPI 6.1.

  Other misc changes:

   - When mounting DAX filesystems, check to make sure the partition is
     page aligned.  This is a requirement for DAX, and previously, we
     allowed such unaligned mounts to succeed, but subsequent
     reads/writes would fail.

   - Misc/cleanup fixes from Jan that remove unused code from DAX
     related to zeroing, writeback, and some size checks"

blk_mq_init_queue() calls blk_mq_init_allocated_queue(), but q-&gt;mq_ops
was not cleared when blk_mq_init_allocated_queue() fails.
Then blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_mq_free_queue() which will crash because:
- q-&gt;all_q_node is not added to all_q_list yet
- q-&gt;tag_set is NULL
- hctx was not setup yet or already freed

Fixed it by clearing q-&gt;mq_ops on error path.

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
  appeared in -next.  The "device dax" implementation was revised this
  week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
  by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.

  Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
  error handling, and dax radix-tree locking).  These topics were
  deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
  coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree.  Vishal and
  Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
  the next few days.

  This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
  across 226 configs.

  Summary:

   - Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
     analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX).  It allows memory
     ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
     file system.  Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
     Specifically this interface:

      a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
         (pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.

      b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
         fault scenarios are supported.

     Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
     targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
     differentiated memory ranges.

   - Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
     This enables management of these first generation devices until a
     unified DSM specification materializes.

   - Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
     identifier format.

   - Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

  this merge window.  This contains:

   - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the
     flush flags.  From me.

   - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver.  It's
     trivially broken, and apparently unmaintained, so it's safer to
     just remove it.  From Jeff Moyer.

   - A set of lightnvm updates from the usual suspects (Matias/Javier,
     and Simon), and fixes from Arnd, Jeff Mahoney, Sagi, and Wenwei
     Tao.

   - A set of updates for NVMe:

        - Turn the controller state management into a proper state
          machine.  From Christoph.

        - Shuffling of code in preparation for NVMe-over-fabrics, also
          from Christoph.

        - Cleanup of the command prep part from Ming Lin.

        - Rewrite of the discard support from Ming Lin.

        - Deadlock fix for namespace removal from Ming Lin.

        - Use the now exported blk-mq tag helper for IO termination.
          From Sagi.

        - Various little fixes from Christoph, Guilherme, Keith, Ming
          Lin, Wang Sheng-Hui.

   - Convert mtip32xx to use the now exported blk-mq tag iter function,
     from Keith"

Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO changes for this merge window.  Nothing
  earth shattering in here, it's mostly just fixes.  In detail:

   - Fix for a long standing issue where wrong ordering in blk-mq caused
     order_to_size() to spew a warning.  From Bart.

   - Async discard support from Christoph.  Basically just splitting our
     sync interface into a submit + wait part.

   - Add a cleaner interface for flagging whether a device has a write
     back cache or not.  We've previously overloaded blk_queue_flush()
     with this, but let's make it more explicit.  Drivers cleaned up and
     updated in the drivers pull request.  From me.

   - Fix for a double check for whether IO accounting is enabled or not.
     From Michael Callahan.

   - Fix for the async discard from Mike Snitzer, reinstating the early
     EOPNOTSUPP return if the device doesn't support discards.

   - Also from Mike, export bio_inc_remaining() so dm can drop it's
     private copy of it.

   - From Ming Lin, add support for passing in an offset for request
     payloads.

   - Tag function export from Sagi, which will be used in NVMe in the
     drivers pull.

   - Two blktrace related fixes from Shaohua.

   - Propagate NOMERGE flag when making a request from a bio, also from
     Shaohua.

   - An optimization to not parse cgroup paths in blk-throttle, if we
     don't need to.  From Shaohua"

* 'for-4.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk-mq: fix undefined behaviour in order_to_size()
  blk-throttle: don't parse cgroup path if trace isn't enabled
  blktrace: add missed mask name
  blktrace: delete garbage for message trace
  block: make bio_inc_remaining() interface accessible again
  block: reinstate early return of -EOPNOTSUPP from blkdev_issue_discard
  block: Minor blk_account_io_start usage cleanup
  block: add __blkdev_issue_discard
  block: remove struct bio_batch
  block: copy NOMERGE flag from bio to request
  block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device
  blk-mq: Export tagset iter function
  block: add offset in blk_add_request_payload()
  writeback: Fix performance regression in wb_over_bg_thresh()

<title>block: Update blkdev_dax_capable() for consistency</title>

blkdev_dax_capable() is similar to bdev_dax_supported(), but needs
to remain as a separate interface for checking dax capability of
a raw block device.

Rename and relocate blkdev_dax_capable() to keep them maintained
consistently, and call bdev_direct_access() for the dax capability
check.

There is no change in the behavior.
