Subject: [GIT PULL] block bits for 3.1-rc
Hi Linus,
This is a lot larger than it usually would be at this time. The
reason is mostly the expedited merge window overlapping with
my vacation. That said, the traffic in this branch in the last
few weeks has only been fixes and it's continually been in linux-next
and run on my various machines. So I'm quite confident that it's sound.
So what's in here:
- A few fixes for some cdrom corner cases.
- Flush fixing for stacked devices
- Revert of the CFQ meta data special treatment patch, it's been shown
to regress a kernel build workload by about 10%. More investigation
is needed, for 3.1 lets just back it out.
- bsg helper library, moving the FC class code into the block layer
for proper sharing with eg iscsi/SAS.
- Nicer loop multi device handling code, and loop deadlock fix.
- Two fixups for xen-blkfront, one for xen-blkback.
- Fixups for rq_affinity changes that went into 3.1-rc1.
- Fixup for CFQ
- Support for properly tracing FLUSH and FUA commands with blktrace.
Diffstat looks large because of the bsg-lib addition, apart from that
it's mostly smallish stuff.
Please pull.
