Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "All over the place fixes for this release:

   - blk-cgroup iteration teardown resched fix (Baolin)

   - NVMe pull request from Christoph:
        - add another Write Zeroes quirk (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - handle a no path available corner case (Daniel Wagner)
        - use the proper RCU aware list_add helper (Chao Leng)

   - bcache regression fix (Coly)

   - bdev->bd_size_lock IRQ fix. This will be fixed in drivers for 5.12,
     but for now, we'll make it IRQ safe (Damien)

   - null_blk zoned init fix (Damien)

   - add_partition() error handling fix (Dinghao)

   - s390 dasd kobject fix (Jan)

   - nbd fix for freezing queue while adding connections (Josef)

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
