Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the block driver pull request for this merge window. It sits
on top of for-4.6/core, that was just sent out.
This contains:
- A set of fixes for lightnvm. One from Alan, fixing an overflow,
and the rest from the usual suspects, Javier and Matias.
- A set of fixes for nbd from Markus and Dan, and a fixup from Arnd
for correct usage of the signed 64-bit divider.
- A set of bug fixes for the Micron mtip32xx, from Asai.
- A fix for the brd discard handling from Bart.
- Update the maintainers entry for cciss, since that hardware has
transferred ownership.
- Three bug fixes for bcache from Eric Wheeler.
- Set of fixes for xen-blk{back,front} from Jan and Konrad.
- Removal of the cpqarray driver. It has been disabled in Kconfig
since 2013, and we were initially scheduled to remove it in 3.15.
- Various updates and fixes for NVMe, with the most important being:
- Removal of the per-device NVMe thread, replacing that with a
watchdog timer instead. From Christoph.
- Exposing the namespace WWID through sysfs, from Keith.
- Set of cleanups from Ming Lin.
- Logging the controller device name instead of the underlying
PCI device name, from Sagi.
- And a bunch of fixes and optimizations from the usual suspects
in this area"

tristate "NVM Express block device"

depends on PCI && BLOCK

select NVME_CORE

---help---
|
|
The NVM Express driver is for solid state drives directly
|
|
connected to the PCI or PCI Express bus. If you know you
|
|
don't have one of these, it is safe to answer N.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
|
|
module will be called nvme.

bool "SCSI emulation for NVMe device nodes"
|
|
depends on NVME_CORE
|
|
---help---
|
|
This adds support for the SG_IO ioctl on the NVMe character
|
|
and block devices nodes, as well a a translation for a small
|
|
number of selected SCSI commands to NVMe commands to the NVMe
|
|
driver. If you don't know what this means you probably want
|
|
to say N here, unless you run a distro that abuses the SCSI
|
|
emulation to provide stable device names for mount by id, like
|
|
some OpenSuSE and SLES versions.
