Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "A smaller collection of fixes that should go into -rc1. This contains:

   - A fix from Christoph, fixing a regression with the WRITE_SAME and
     partial completions. Caused a BUG() on ppc.

   - Fixup for __blk_mq_stop_hw_queues(), it should be static. From
     Colin.

   - Removal of dmesg error messages on elevator switching, when invoked
     from sysfs. From me.

   - Fix for blk-stat, using this_cpu_ptr() in a section only protected
     by rcu_read_lock(). This breaks when PREEMPT_RCU is enabled. From
     me.

   - Two fixes for BFQ from Paolo, one fixing a crash and one updating
     the documentation.

   - An error handling lightnvm memory leak, from Rakesh.

   - The previous blk-mq hot unplug lock reversal depends on the CPU
     hotplug rework that isn't in mainline yet. This caused a lockdep
     splat when people unplugged CPUs with blk-mq devices. From Wanpeng.

   - A regression fix for DIF/DIX on blk-mq. From Wen"

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  block: handle partial completions for special payload requests
  blk-mq: NVMe 512B/4K+T10 DIF/DIX format returns I/O error on dd with split op
  blk-stat: don't use this_cpu_ptr() in a preemptable section
  elevator: remove redundant warnings on IO scheduler switch
  block, bfq: stress that low_latency must be off to get max throughput
  block, bfq: use pointer entity-&gt;sched_data only if set
  nvme: lightnvm: fix memory leak
  blk-mq: make __blk_mq_stop_hw_queues static
  lightnvm: remove unused rq parameter of nvme_nvm_rqtocmd() to kill warning
  block/mq: fix potential deadlock during cpu hotplug

<title>lightnvm: remove unused rq parameter of nvme_nvm_rqtocmd() to kill warning</title>

    drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c: In function ‘nvme_nvm_submit_io’:
    drivers/nvme/host/lightnvm.c:498: warning: ‘rq’ is used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, since commit 2e13f33a2464fc3a ("lightnvm: create cmd before
allocating request"), the request is passed to nvme_nvm_rqtocmd() before
it is allocated.

Fortunately, as of commit 91276162de9476b8 ("lightnvm: refactor end_io
functions for sync"), nvme_nvm_rqtocmd () no longer uses the passed
request, so this warning is a false positive.

Drop the unused parameter to clean up the code and kill the warning.

Create nvme command before allocating a request using
nvme_alloc_request, which uses the command direction. Up until now, the
command has been zeroized, so all commands have been allocated as a

Remove the request_idx parameter, which can't be used safely now that we
support I/O schedulers with blk-mq.  Except for a superflous check in
mtip32xx it was unused anyway.

Also pass the tag_set instead of just the driver data - this allows drivers
to avoid some code duplication in a follow on cleanup.

The current command submission code uses a sector-based value when
considering the maximum number of blocks per command. With a
4k-formatted namespace and a command exceeding max hardware limits, this
calculation doesn't split IOs which should be split and fails in the
nvme layer. This patch fixes that calculation and enables IO splitting
in these circumstances.
