    Merge branch 'for-3.20/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · 3e12cefb
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe:
     "This contains:
    
       - A series from Christoph that cleans up and refactors various parts
         of the REQ_BLOCK_PC handling.  Contributions in that series from
         Dongsu Park and Kent Overstreet as well.
    
       - CFQ:
            - A bug fix for cfq for realtime IO scheduling from Jeff Moyer.
            - A stable patch fixing a potential crash in CFQ in OOM
              situations.  From Konstantin Khlebnikov.
    
       - blk-mq:
            - Add support for tag allocation policies, from Shaohua. This is
              a prep patch enabling libata (and other SCSI parts) to use the
              blk-mq tagging, instead of rolling their own.
            - Various little tweaks from Keith and Mike, in preparation for
              DM blk-mq support.
            - Minor little fixes or tweaks from me.
            - A double free error fix from Tony Battersby.
    
       - The partition 4k issue fixes from Matthew and Boaz.
    
       - Add support for zero+unprovision for blkdev_issue_zeroout() from
         Martin"
