Fix strpbrk()'s argument order, it must pass acceptable string
in 2nd argument. Note that this can cause a kernel panic where
it recovers backup character to code-&gt;data.

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)"

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.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Darren Hart:

 - Move the Dell dcdbas and dell_rbu drivers into platform/drivers/x86
   as they are closely coupled with other drivers in this location.

 - Improve _init* usage for acerhdf and fix some usage issues with
   messages and module parameters.

 - Simplify asus-wmi by calling ACPI/WMI methods directly, eliminating
   workqueue overhead, eliminate double reporting of keyboard backlight.

 - Fix wake from USB failure on Bay Trail devices (intel_int0002_vgpio).

 - Notify intel_telemetry users when IPC1 device is not enabled.

 - Update various drivers with new laptop model IDs.

 - Update several intel drivers to use SPDX identifers and order headers
   alphabetically.

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
 "The biggest change here is the updates to kprobes

  Back in January I posted patches to create function based events.
  These were the events that you suggested I make to allow developers to
  easily create events in code where no trace event exists. After
  posting those changes for review, it was suggested that we implement
  this instead with kprobes.

  The problem with kprobes is that the interface is too complex and
  needs to be simplified. Masami Hiramatsu posted patches in March and
  I've been playing with them a bit. There's been a bit of clean up in
  the kprobe code that was inspired by the function based event patches,
  and a couple of enhancements to the kprobe event interface.

   - If the arch supports it (we added support for x86), you can place a
     kprobe event at the start of a function and use $arg1, $arg2, etc
     to reference the arguments of a function. (Before you needed to
     know what register or where on the stack the argument was).

   - The second is a way to see array of events. For example, if you
     reference a mac address, you can add:

	echo 'p:mac ip_rcv perm_addr=+574($arg2):x8[6]' &gt; kprobe_events

     And this will produce:

	mac: (ip_rcv+0x0/0x140) perm_addr={0x52,0x54,0x0,0xc0,0x76,0xec}

  Other changes include

   - Exporting trace_dump_stack to modules

   - Have the stack tracer trace the entire stack (stop trying to remove
     tracing itself, as we keep removing too much).

   - Added support for SDT in uprobes"

[ SDT - "Statically Defined Tracing" are userspace markers for tracing.
  Let's not use random TLA's in explanations unless they are fairly
  well-established as generic (at least for kernel people) - Linus ]

<title>tracing: Have stack tracer trace full stack</title>

The stack tracer traces every function call checking the current stack (in
non interrupt context), looking for the deepest stack, and saving it when it
finds a new max depth. The problem is that it calls save_stack_trace(), and
with the new ORC unwinder, it can skip too much. As it looks at the ip of
the function call in the backtrace to find where it should start, it doesn't
need to skip anything.

The stack trace selftest would fail when the kernel was complied with the
ORC UNDWINDER enabled. Without skipping functions when doing the stack
trace, it now passes again.

There is no reason for this function to be unexprted and it's a useful
debugging aid.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block changes for 4.20. This
  contains:

   - Series enabling runtime PM for blk-mq (Bart).

   - Two pull requests from Christoph for NVMe, with items such as;
      - Better AEN tracking
      - Multipath improvements
      - RDMA fixes
      - Rework of FC for target removal
      - Fixes for issues identified by static checkers
      - Fabric cleanups, as prep for TCP transport
      - Various cleanups and bug fixes

   - Block merging cleanups (Christoph)

   - Conversion of drivers to generic DMA mapping API (Christoph)

   - Series fixing ref count issues with blkcg (Dennis)

   - Series improving BFQ heuristics (Paolo, et al)

   - Series improving heuristics for the Kyber IO scheduler (Omar)

   - Removal of dangerous bio_rewind_iter() API (Ming)

   - Apply single queue IPI redirection logic to blk-mq (Ming)

   - Set of fixes and improvements for bcache (Coly et al)

   - Series closing a hotplug race with sysfs group attributes (Hannes)

   - Set of patches for lightnvm:
      - pblk trace support (Hans)
      - SPDX license header update (Javier)
      - Tons of refactoring patches to cleanly abstract the 1.2 and 2.0
        specs behind a common core interface. (Javier, Matias)
      - Enable pblk to use a common interface to retrieve chunk metadata
        (Matias)
      - Bug fixes (Various)

   - Set of fixes and updates to the blk IO latency target (Josef)

   - blk-mq queue number updates fixes (Jianchao)

   - Convert a bunch of drivers from the old legacy IO interface to
     blk-mq. This will conclude with the removal of the legacy IO
     interface itself in 4.21, with the rest of the drivers (me, Omar)

   - Removal of the DAC960 driver. The SCSI tree will introduce two
     replacement drivers for this (Hannes)"

* tag 'for-4.20/block-20181021' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (204 commits)
  block: setup bounce bio_sets properly
  blkcg: reassociate bios when make_request() is called recursively
  blkcg: fix edge case for blk_get_rl() under memory pressure
  nvme-fabrics: move controller options matching to fabrics
  nvme-rdma: always have a valid trsvcid
  mtip32xx: fully switch to the generic DMA API
  rsxx: switch to the generic DMA API
  umem: switch to the generic DMA API
  sx8: switch to the generic DMA API
  sx8: remove dead IF_64BIT_DMA_IS_POSSIBLE code
  skd: switch to the generic DMA API
  ubd: remove use of blk_rq_map_sg
  nvme-pci: remove duplicate check
  drivers/block: Remove DAC960 driver
  nvme-pci: fix hot removal during error handling
  nvmet-fcloop: suppress a compiler warning
  nvme-core: make implicit seed truncation explicit
  nvmet-fc: fix kernel-doc headers
