Pull device-mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
 "I rebased the DM tree ontop of linux-block.git's 'for-3.18/core' at
  the beginning of October because DM core now depends on the newly
  introduced bioset_create_nobvec() interface.

  Summary:

   - fix DM's long-standing excessive use of memory by leveraging the
     new bioset_create_nobvec() interface when creating the DM's bioset

   - fix a few bugs in dm-bufio and dm-log-userspace

   - add DM core support for a DM multipath use-case that requires
     loading DM tables that contain devices that have failed (by
     allowing active and inactive DM tables to share dm_devs)

   - add discard support to the DM raid target; like MD raid456 the user
     must opt-in to raid456 discard support be specifying the
     devices_handle_discard_safely=Y module param"

* tag 'dm-3.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm log userspace: fix memory leak in dm_ulog_tfr_init failure path
  dm bufio: when done scanning return from __scan immediately
  dm bufio: update last_accessed when relinking a buffer
  dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 4, 5 and 6
  dm raid: add discard support for RAID levels 1 and 10
  dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devs
  dm mpath: stop queueing IO when no valid paths exist
  dm: use bioset_create_nobvec()
  dm: remove nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio()

Pull block layer driver update from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block driver pull request for 3.18.  Not a lot in there
  this round, and nothing earth shattering.

   - 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

Pull md updates from Neil Brown:
 - a few minor bug fixes

 - remove PRINT_RAID_DEBUG ioctl.  I'm fairly sure it is unused, and it
   isn't particularly useful.

  md: remove unnecessary test for MD_MAJOR in md_ioctl()
  md: don't allow "-sync" to be set for device in an active array.
  md: remove unwanted white space from md.c
  md: don't start resync thread directly from md thread.
  md: Just use RCU when checking for overlap between arrays.
  md: avoid potential long delay under pers_lock
  md: simplify export_array()
  md: discard find_rdev_nr in favour of find_rdev_nr_rcu
  md: use wait_event() to simplify md_super_wait()

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

<id>b610626523cf5c780bf7d9746580c323e90580e6</id>
<content type='text'>
Replaced the use of a Variable Length Array In Struct (VLAIS) with a C99
compliant equivalent. This patch allocates the appropriate amount of memory
using a char array using the SHASH_DESC_ON_STACK macro.

The new code can be compiled with both gcc and clang.

All the interesting information printed by this ioctl
is provided in /proc/mdstat and/or sysfs.
So it isn't needed and isn't used and would be best if it didn't

unknown ioctls no longer get this deep into md_ioctl since
md_ioctl_valid() was introduced in 3.14.
So remove the test and the misleading comment.
