<title>drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: avoid -Wnonnull warning</title>

gcc-7 produces a harmless false-postive warning about a possible NULL
pointer access:

  drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c: In function 'h_memstick_read_dev_id':
  drivers/memstick/core/memstick.c:309:3: error: argument 2 null where non-null expected [-Werror=nonnull]
     memcpy(mrq-&gt;data, buf, mrq-&gt;data_len);

This can't happen because the caller sets the command to 'MS_TPC_READ_REG',
which causes the data direction to be 'READ' and the NULL pointer not
accessed.

As a simple workaround for the warning, we can pass a pointer to the
data that we actually want to read into.  This is not needed here, but
also harmless, and lets the compiler know that the access is ok.

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
  release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
  always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
  reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
  probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
  for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

  The major parts of this pull request is:

   - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
     private implementation instead of using the pig that is
     fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

   - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
     by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
     writeback queue throttling code.

   - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
     that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

   - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
     side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
     scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

   - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
     and Shaun.

   - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

   - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
     which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
     Christoph.

   - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
     stopping and starting in blk-mq.

   - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

   - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

   - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

   - A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
     here"

* 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (182 commits)
  blk-stat: fix a few cases of missing batch flushing
  blk-flush: run the queue when inserting blk-mq flush
  elevator: make the rqhash helpers exported
  blk-mq: abstract out blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() helper
  blk-mq: add blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queue()
  block: improve handling of the magic discard payload
  blk-wbt: don't throttle discard or write zeroes
  nbd: use dev_err_ratelimited in io path
  nbd: reset the setup task for NBD_CLEAR_SOCK
  nvme-fabrics: Add FC LLDD loopback driver to test FC-NVME
  nvme-fabrics: Add target support for FC transport
  nvme-fabrics: Add host support for FC transport
  nvme-fabrics: Add FC transport LLDD api definitions
  nvme-fabrics: Add FC transport FC-NVME definitions

  nvme-fabrics: patch target code in prep for FC transport support

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.

This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests.  It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.

Accesses to the rtsx usb device, which is the parent of the rtsx memstick
device, must not be done unless it's runtime resumed. This is currently not
the case and it could trigger various errors.

Fix this by properly deal with runtime PM in this regards. This means
making sure the device is runtime resumed, when serving requests via the
-&gt;request() callback or changing settings via the -&gt;set_param() callbacks.

Accesses to the rtsx usb device, which is the parent of the rtsx memstick
device, must not be done unless it's runtime resumed.

Therefore when the rtsx_usb_ms driver polls for inserted memstick cards,
let's add pm_runtime_get|put*() to make sure accesses is done when the
rtsx usb device is runtime resumed.
