Merge tag 'for-linus-20191205' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull more block and io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:
 "I wasn't expecting this to be so big, and if I was, I would have used
  separate branches for this. Going forward I'll be doing separate
  branches for the current tree, just like for the next kernel version
  tree. In any case, this contains:

   - Series from Christoph that fixes an inherent race condition with
     zoned devices and revalidation.

   - null_blk zone size fix (Damien)

   - Fix for a regression in this merge window that caused busy spins by
     sending empty disk uevents (Eric)

   - Fix for a regression in this merge window for bfq stats (Hou)

   - Fix for io_uring creds allocation failure handling (me)

   - io_uring -ERESTARTSYS send/recvmsg fix (me)

   - Series that fixes the need for applications to retain state across
     async request punts for io_uring. This one is a bit larger than I
     would have hoped, but I think it's important we get this fixed for
     5.5.

   - connect(2) improvement for io_uring, handling EINPROGRESS instead
     of having applications needing to poll for it (me)

   - Have io_uring use a hash for poll requests instead of an rbtree.
     This turned out to work much better in practice, so I think we
     should make the switch now. For some workloads, even with a fair
     amount of cancellations, the insertion sort is just too expensive.
     (me)

   - Various little io_uring fixes (me, Jackie, Pavel, LimingWu)

   - Fix for brd unaligned IO, and a warning for the future (Ming)

   - Fix for a bio integrity data leak (Justin)

   - bvec_iter_advance() improvement (Pavel)

   - Xen blkback page unmap fix (SeongJae)

  The major items in here are all well tested, and on the liburing side
  we continue to add regression and feature test cases. We're up to 50
  topic cases now, each with anywhere from 1 to more than 10 cases in
  each"

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
