Merge branch 'for-3.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe: "Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains: - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation and freeing. - WRITE_SAME support from Martin. - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes the block size of a device. - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards). - A few other minor fixups." Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit 6b2dbba8b6ac: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree"). So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the internal VM knowledge that has changed. * 'for-3.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (26 commits) block: makes bio_split support bio without data scatterlist: refactor the sg_nents scatterlist: add sg_nents fs: fix include/percpu-rwsem.h export error percpu-rw-semaphore: fix documentation typos fs/block_dev.c:1644:5: sparse: symbol 'blkdev_mmap' was not declared blockdev: turn a rw semaphore into a percpu rw semaphore Fix a crash when block device is read and block size is changed at the same time block: fix request_queue->flags initialization block: lift the initial queue bypass mode on blk_register_queue() instead of blk_init_allocated_queue() block: ioctl to zero block ranges block: Make blkdev_issue_zeroout use WRITE SAME block: Implement support for WRITE SAME block: Consolidate command flag and queue limit checks for merges block: Clean up special command handling logic block/blk-tag.c: Remove useless kfree block: remove the duplicated setting for congestion_threshold block: reject invalid queue attribute values block: Add bio_clone_bioset(), bio_clone_kmalloc() block: Consolidate bio_alloc_bioset(), bio_kmalloc() ...
