Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Final round of fixes for this merge window - some of this has come up
  after the initial pull request, and some of it was put in a post-merge
  branch before the merge window.

  This contains:

   - Fix for a bad check for an error on dma mapping in the mtip32xx
     driver, from Alexey Khoroshilov.

   - A set of fixes for lightnvm, from Javier, Matias, and Wenwei.

   - An NVMe completion record corruption fix from Marta, ensuring that
     we read things in the right order.

   - Two writeback fixes from Tejun, marked for stable@ as well.

   - A blk-mq sw queue iterator fix from Thomas, fixing an oops for
     sparse CPU maps.  They hit this in the hot plug/unplug rework"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  nvme: avoid cqe corruption when update at the same time as read
  writeback, cgroup: fix use of the wrong bdi_writeback which mismatches the inode
  writeback, cgroup: fix premature wb_put() in locked_inode_to_wb_and_lock_list()
  blk-mq: Use proper cpumask iterator
  mtip32xx: fix checks for dma mapping errors
  lightnvm: do not load L2P table if not supported
  lightnvm: do not reserve lun on l2p loading
  nvme: lightnvm: return ppa completion status
  lightnvm: add a bitmap of luns
  lightnvm: specify target's logical address area
  null_blk: add lightnvm null_blk device to the nullb_list

queue_for_each_ctx() iterates over per_cpu variables under the assumption that
the possible cpu mask cannot have holes. That's wrong as all cpumasks can have
holes. In case there are holes the iteration ends up accessing uninitialized
memory and crashing as a result.

Replace the macro by a proper for_each_possible_cpu() loop and drop the unused
macro blk_ctx_sum() which references queue_for_each_ctx().

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Most attention this cycle went to optimizing blk-mq request-based DM
   (dm-mq) that is used exclussively by DM multipath:

     - A stable fix for dm-mq that eliminates excessive context
       switching offers the biggest performance improvement (for both
       IOPs and throughput).

     - But more work is needed, during the next cycle, to reduce
       spinlock contention in DM multipath on large NUMA systems.

 - A stable fix for a NULL pointer seen when DM stats is enabled on a DM
   multipath device that must requeue an IO due to path failure.

 - A stable fix for DM snapshot to disallow the COW and origin devices
   from being identical.  This amounts to graceful failure in the face
   of userspace error because these devices shouldn't ever be identical.

 - Stable fixes for DM cache and DM thin provisioning to address crashes
   seen if/when their respective metadata device experiences failures
   that cause the transition to 'fail_io' mode.

 - The DM cache 'mq' policy is now an alias for the 'smq' policy.  The
   'smq' policy proved to be consistently better than 'mq'.  As such
   'mq', with all its complex user-facing tunables, has been eliminated.

 - Improve DM thin provisioning to consistently return -ENOSPC once the
   thin-pool's data volume is out of space.

 - Improve DM core to properly handle error propagation if
   bio_integrity_clone() fails in clone_bio().

 - Other small cleanups and improvements to DM core.

* tag 'dm-4.6-changes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm: (41 commits)
  dm: fix rq_end_stats() NULL pointer in dm_requeue_original_request()

  dm cache: bump the target version
  dm cache: make sure every metadata function checks fail_io
  dm: add missing newline between DM_DEBUG_BLOCK_STACK_TRACING and DM_BUFIO
  dm cache policy smq: clarify that mq registration failure was for 'mq'

This patch has been carried in the Android tree for quite some time and
is one of the few patches required to get a mainline kernel up and
running with an exsiting Android userspace.  So I wanted to submit it
for review and consideration if it should be merged.

For partitions, add new uevent parameters 'PARTN' which specifies the
partitions index in the table, and 'PARTNAME', which specifies PARTNAME
specifices the partition name of a partition device.

Android's userspace uses this for creating device node links from the
partition name and number, ie:

    /dev/block/platform/soc/by-name/system
or
    /dev/block/platform/soc/by-num/p1

One can see its usage here:
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#355
and
    https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core/+/master/init/devices.cpp#494

Modified by Jens to drop the unlikely(), and make the fall through
path be having a valid tag.

We use bio chaining during most I/Os these days due to the delayed
bio splitting.  Additionally XFS will start using it, and there is
a pending direct I/O rewrite also making heavy use for it.  Don't
pretend it's always unlikely, and let the branch predictor do it's
job instead.

path with a simple goto loop.
