Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "The biggest part of this pull request is the revert of the blkcg
  cleanup series. It had one fix earlier for a stacked device issue, but
  another one was reported. Rather than play whack-a-mole with this,
  revert the entire series and try again for the next kernel release.

  Apart from that, only small fixes/changes.

  Summary:

   - Indentation fixup for mtip32xx (Colin Ian King)

   - The blkcg cleanup series revert (Dennis Zhou)

   - Two NVMe fixes. One fixing a regression in the nvme request
     initialization in this merge window, causing nvme-fc to not work.
     The other is a suspend/resume p2p resource issue (James, Keith)

   - Fix sg discard merge, allowing us to merge in cases where we didn't
     before (Jianchao Wang)

   - Call rq_qos_exit() after the queue is frozen, preventing a hang
     (Ming)

   - Fix brd queue setup, fixing an oops if we fail setting up all
     devices (Ming)"

* tag 'for-linus-20181102' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  nvme-pci: fix conflicting p2p resource adds
  nvme-fc: fix request private initialization
  blkcg: revert blkcg cleanups series
  block: brd: associate with queue until adding disk
  block: call rq_qos_exit() after queue is frozen
  mtip32xx: clean an indentation issue, remove extraneous tabs
  block: fix the DISCARD request merge

This reverts a series committed earlier due to null pointer exception
bug report in [1]. It seems there are edge case interactions that I did
not consider and will need some time to understand what causes the
adverse interactions.

The original series can be found in [2] with a follow up series in [3].

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - The biggest change this cycle is to remove support for the legacy IO
   path (.request_fn) from request-based DM.

   Jens has already started preparing for complete removal of the legacy
   IO path in 4.21 but this earlier removal of support from DM has been
   coordinated with Jens (as evidenced by the commit being attributed to
   him).

   Making request-based DM exclussively blk-mq only cleans up that
   portion of DM core quite nicely.

 - Convert the thinp and zoned targets over to using refcount_t where
   applicable.

 - A couple fixes to the DM zoned target for refcounting and other races
   buried in the implementation of metadata block creation and use.

 - Small cleanups to remove redundant unlikely() around a couple
   WARN_ON_ONCE().

 - Simplify how dm-ioctl copies from userspace, eliminating some
   potential for a malicious user trying to change the executed ioctl
   after its processing has begun.

 - Tweaked DM crypt target to use the DM device name when naming the
   various workqueues created for a particular DM crypt device (makes
   the N workqueues for a DM crypt device more easily understood and
   enhances user's accounting capabilities at a glance via "ps")

 - Small fixup to remove dead branch in DM writecache's memory_entry().

* tag 'for-4.20/dm-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm:
  dm writecache: remove disabled code in memory_entry()
  dm zoned: fix various dmz_get_mblock() issues
  dm zoned: fix metadata block ref counting
  dm raid: avoid bitmap with raid4/5/6 journal device
  dm crypt: make workqueue names device-specific
  dm: add dm_table_device_name()
  dm ioctl: harden copy_params()'s copy_from_user() from malicious users
  dm: remove unnecessary unlikely() around WARN_ON_ONCE()

  dm thin: use refcount_t for thin_c reference counting

Drivers exposing zoned block devices have to initialize and maintain
correctness (i.e. revalidate) of the device zone bitmaps attached to
the device request queue (seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock).

To simplify coding this, introduce a generic helper function
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() suitable for most (and likely all) cases.
This new function always update the seq_zones_bitmap and seq_zones_wlock
bitmaps as well as the queue nr_zones field when called for a disk
using a request based queue. For a disk using a BIO based queue, only
the number of zones is updated since these queues do not have
schedulers and so do not need the zone bitmaps.

With this change, the zone bitmap initialization code in sd_zbc.c can be
replaced with a call to this function in sd_zbc_read_zones(), which is
called from the disk revalidate block operation method.

A call to blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is also added to the null_blk
driver for devices created with the zoned mode enabled.

Finally, to ensure that zoned devices created with dm-linear or
dm-flakey expose the correct number of zones through sysfs, a call to
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() is added to dm_table_set_restrictions().

The zone bitmaps allocated and initialized with
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() are freed automatically from
__blk_release_queue() using the block internal function
blk_queue_free_zone_bitmaps().

<title>block: add a report_zones method</title>

Dispatching a report zones command through the request queue is a major
pain due to the command reply payload rewriting necessary. Given that
blkdev_report_zones() is executing everything synchronously, implement
report zones as a block device file operation instead, allowing major
simplification of the code in many places.

sd, null-blk, dm-linear and dm-flakey being the only block device
drivers supporting exposing zoned block devices, these drivers are
modified to provide the device side implementation of the
report_zones() block device file operation.

For device mappers, a new report_zones() target type operation is
defined so that the upper block layer calls blkdev_report_zones() can
be propagated down to the underlying devices of the dm targets.
Implementation for this new operation is added to the dm-linear and
dm-flakey targets.

Introduce the blkdev_nr_zones() helper function to get the total
number of zones of a zoned block device. This number is always 0 for a
regular block device (q-&gt;limits.zoned == BLK_ZONED_NONE case).

Replace hard-coded number of zones calculation in dmz_get_zoned_device()
with a call to this helper.
