Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A smaller collection of fixes for the block core that would be nice to
  have in -rc2.  This pull request contains:

   - Fixes for races in the wait/wakeup logic used in blk-mq from
     Alexander.  No issues have been observed, but it is definitely a
     bit flakey currently.  Alternatively, we may drop the cyclic
     wakeups going forward, but that needs more testing.

   - Some cleanups from Christoph.

   - Fix for an oops in null_blk if queue_mode=1 and softirq completions
     are used.  From me.

   - A fix for a regression caused by the chunk size setting.  It
     inadvertently used max_hw_sectors instead of max_sectors, which is
     incorrect, and causes hangs on btrfs multi-disk setups (where hw
     sectors apparently isn't set).  From me.

   - Removal of WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT in the kblockd creation.  This was a
     recent addition as well, but it actually breaks blk-mq which relies
     on strict scheduling.  If the workqueue power_efficient mode is
     turned on, this breaks blk-mq.  From Matias.

   - null_blk module parameter description fix from Mike"

This update fixes few issues in bt_get() function:

- list_empty(&amp;wait.task_list) check is not protected;

- was_empty check is always true which results in *every* thread
  entering the loop resets bt_wait_state::wait_cnt counter rather
  than every bt-&gt;wake_cnt'th thread;

- 'bt_wait_state::wait_cnt' counter update is redundant, since
  it also gets reset in bt_clear_tag() function;

<content type='text'>
This piece of code in bt_clear_tag() function is racy:

	bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt);
	if (bs &amp;&amp; atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;bs-&gt;wait_cnt)) {
		atomic_set(&amp;bs-&gt;wait_cnt, bt-&gt;wake_cnt);
 		wake_up(&amp;bs-&gt;wait);
	}

Since nothing prevents bt_wake_ptr() from returning the very
same 'bs' address on multiple CPUs, the following scenario is
possible:

    CPU1                                CPU2
    ----                                ----

0.  bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt);               bs = bt_wake_ptr(bt);
1.  atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;bs-&gt;wait_cnt)
2.                                      atomic_dec_and_test(&amp;bs-&gt;wait_cnt)
3.  atomic_set(&amp;bs-&gt;wait_cnt, bt-&gt;wake_cnt);

If the decrement in [1] yields zero then for some amount of time
the decrement in [2] results in a negative/overflow value, which
is not expected. The follow-up assignment in [3] overwrites the
invalid value with the batch value (and likely prevents the issue
from being severe) which is still incorrect and should be a lesser.

  tweaks"

If we need to drain a queue we need to run all queues, even if they
are marked stopped to make sure the driver has a chance to error out
on all queued requests.

This fixes surprise removal with scsi-mq.

blk-mq issues async requests through kblockd. To issue a work request on
a specific CPU, kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on is used. However, the
specific CPU choice may not be honored, if the power_efficient option
for workqueues is set. blk-mq requires that we have strict per-cpu
scheduling, so it wont work properly if kblockd is marked
POWER_EFFICIENT and power_efficient is set.

Remove the kblockd WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT flag to prevent this behavior.
This essentially reverts part of commit 695588f9454b, which added
the WQ_POWER_EFFICIENT marker to kblockd.

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1.  Some general
  cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
  NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq.  The pull request contains:

   - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
     the driver.  Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
     such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
     request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic.  From
     me.

   - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags.  Some scsi devices have a huge
     shared tag space.  Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
     depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
     value.  From me.

   - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others.

   - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith.  This is

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1.  Some general
  cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the
  NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq.  The pull request contains:

   - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by
     the driver.  Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses
     such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of
     request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic.  From
     me.

   - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags.  Some scsi devices have a huge
     shared tag space.  Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag
     depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual
     value.  From me.
