    Merge branch 'for-4.14/block-postmerge' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · 126e76ff
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull followup block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
     "I ended up splitting the main pull request for this series into two,
      mainly because of clashes between NVMe fixes that went into 4.13 after
      the for-4.14 branches were split off. This pull request is mostly
      NVMe, but not exclusively. In detail, it contains:
    
       - Two pull request for NVMe changes from Christoph. Nothing new on
         the feature front, basically just fixes all over the map for the
         core bits, transport, rdma, etc.
    
       - Series from Bart, cleaning up various bits in the BFQ scheduler.
    
       - Series of bcache fixes, which has been lingering for a release or
         two. Coly sent this in, but patches from various people in this
         area.
    
       - Set of patches for BFQ from Paolo himself, updating both
         documentation and fixing some corner cases in performance.
    
       - Series from Omar, attempting to now get the 4k loop support
         correct. Our confidence level is higher this time.
    
       - Series from Shaohua for loop as well, improving O_DIRECT
         performance and fixing a use-after-free"
