Pull sparc update from David Miller:
 "Two changes:

  1) It makes no sense to execute a VTOC partition table request in the
     Sun virtual block device driver and fail to load if it doesn't
     succeed because a) we don't use the result at all and b) it won't
     succeed if there is an EFI partition on the disk, for example.

     We read the partition table via the normal means in the block layer
     anyways, so this is really completely useless, so just remove it.

     From Dwight Engen.

  2) Hook up new bpf system call"

The VD_OP_GET_VTOC operation will succeed only if the vdisk backend has a
VTOC label, otherwise it will fail. In particular, it will return error
48 (ENOTSUP) if the disk has an EFI label. VTOC disk labels are already
handled by directly reading the disk in block/partitions/sun.c (enabled by
CONFIG_SUN_PARTITION which defaults to y on SPARC). Since port-&gt;label is
unused in the driver, remove the call and the field.

There is a rare NULL pointer bug in mem_used_total_show() and
mem_used_max_store() in concurrent situation, like this:

zram is not initialized, process A is a mem_used_total reader which runs
periodically, while process B try to init zram.

	process A 				process B
  access meta, get a NULL value
						init zram, done
  init_done() is true
  access meta-&gt;mem_pool, get a NULL pointer BUG

This patch fixes this issue.

When creation of queues fails in init_driver_queues(), we free the
queues. But null_add_dev() doesn't test for this failure and continues
with the setup leading to strange consequences, likely oops. Fix the
problem by testing whether init_driver_queues() failed and do proper
error cleanup.

Pull block layer driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18.  Not a lot in there

   - A round of drbd fixes from the linbit team, and an improvement in
     asender performance.

   - Removal of deprecated (and unused) IRQF_DISABLED flag in rsxx and
     hd from Michael Opdenacker.

   - Disable entropy collection from flash devices by default, from Mike
     Snitzer.

   - A small collection of xen blkfront/back fixes from Roger Pau Monné
     and Vitaly Kuznetsov"

* 'for-3.18/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
  xen, blkfront: factor out flush-related checks from do_blkif_request()
  xen-blkback: fix leak on grant map error path
  xen/blkback: unmap all persistent grants when frontend gets disconnected
  rsxx: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED
  block: hd: remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED
  drbd: use RB_DECLARE_CALLBACKS() to define augment callbacks
  drbd: compute the end before rb_insert_augmented()
  drbd: Add missing newline in resync progress display in /proc/drbd
  drbd: reduce lock contention in drbd_worker
  drbd: Improve asender performance
  drbd: Get rid of the WORK_PENDING macro
  drbd: Get rid of the __no_warn and __cond_lock macros
  drbd: Avoid inconsistent locking warning
  drbd: Remove superfluous newline from "resync_extents" debugfs entry.
  drbd: Use consistent names for all the bi_end_io callbacks
  drbd: Use better variable names

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     -&gt;queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

   - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
     scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
     shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited
     depth for that"

* 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (58 commits)

  blk-mq: allocate cpumask on the home node

  block: include func name in __get_request prints
  block: make blk_update_request print prefix match ratelimited prefix
  blk-merge: don't compute bi_phys_segments from bi_vcnt for cloned bio

Pull Ceph updates from Sage Weil:
 "There is the long-awaited discard support for RBD (Guangliang Zhao,
  Josh Durgin), a pile of RBD bug fixes that didn't belong in late -rc's
  (Ilya Dryomov, Li RongQing), a pile of fs/ceph bug fixes and
  performance and debugging improvements (Yan, Zheng, John Spray), and a
  smattering of cleanups (Chao Yu, Fabian Frederick, Joe Perches)"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sage/ceph-client: (40 commits)
  ceph: fix divide-by-zero in __validate_layout()
  rbd: rbd workqueues need a resque worker
  libceph: ceph-msgr workqueue needs a resque worker
  ceph: fix bool assignments
  libceph: separate multiple ops with commas in debugfs output
  libceph: sync osd op definitions in rados.h
  libceph: remove redundant declaration
  ceph: additional debugfs output
  ceph: export ceph_session_state_name function
  ceph: include the initial ACL in create/mkdir/mknod MDS requests

virtio spec requires drivers to set DRIVER_OK before using VQs.
This is set automatically after restore returns, virtio block violated
this rule on restore by restarting queues, which might in theory
cause the VQ to be used directly within restore.

To fix, call virtio_device_ready before using starting queues.
