Merge tag 'for-linus-20180425' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "I ended up sitting on this about a week longer than I wanted to, since
  we were hashing out details with a timeout change. I've now killed
  that patch, so we can flush the existing queue in due time.

  This contains:

   - Fix for an old regression, where entering the queue can be
     disturbed by a signal to the process. This can cause spurious EIO.
     Fix from Alan Jenkins.

   - cdrom information leak fix from Dan.

   - Trivial helper for testing queue FUA from Dave Chinner, part of his
     O_DIRECT FUA series.

   - Series of swim fixes from Finn that actually makes it work again.

   - Loop O_DIRECT corruption fix, which caused data corruption in
     production for us. From me.

   - BFQ crash fix from me.

   - bcache maintainer update. Michael no longer has the time to do it,
     Coly has stepped up to serve as the new maintainer.

   - blkcg locking fixes from Jiang Biao.

   - Revert of a change from this merge window from Ming, that causes an
     issue on some hardware.

   - Minor clarification doc addition from Linus Walleij"

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
