    Merge branch 'for-4.6/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · 237045fc
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
     "This is the block driver pull request for this merge window.  It sits
      on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.
    
      This contains:
    
       - A set of fixes for lightnvm.  One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
         and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.
    
       - A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
         for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.
    
       - A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.
    
       - A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.
    
       - Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
         transferred ownership.
    
       - Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.
    
       - Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.
    
       - Removal of the cpqarray driver.  It has been disabled in Kconfig
         since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.
    
       - Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:
    
            - Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
              watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.
    
            - Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.
    
            - Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.
    
            - Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
              PCI device name, from Sagi.
    
            - And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
              in this area"
