Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe: "Another nice round of removing more code than what is added, mostly due to Christoph's relentless pursuit of tech debt removal/cleanups. This pull request contains: - Two series of BFQ improvements (Paolo, Jan, Jia) - Block iov_iter improvements (Pavel) - bsg error path fix (Pan) - blk-mq scheduler improvements (Jan) - -EBUSY discard fix (Jan) - bvec allocation improvements (Ming, Christoph) - bio allocation and init improvements (Christoph) - Store bdev pointer in bio instead of gendisk + partno (Christoph) - Block trace point cleanups (Christoph) - hard read-only vs read-only split (Christoph) - Block based swap cleanups (Christoph) - Zoned write granularity support (Damien) - Various fixes/tweaks (Chunguang, Guoqing, Lei, Lukas, Huhai)" * tag 'for-5.12/block-2021-02-17' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (104 commits) mm: simplify swapdev_block sd_zbc: clear zone resources for non-zoned case block: introduce blk_queue_clear_zone_settings() zonefs: use zone write granularity as block size block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit block: use blk_queue_set_zoned in add_partition() nullb: use blk_queue_set_zoned() to setup zoned devices nvme: cleanup zone information initialization block: document zone_append_max_bytes attribute block: use bi_max_vecs to find the bvec pool md/raid10: remove dead code in reshape_request block: mark the bio as cloned in bio_iov_bvec_set block: set BIO_NO_PAGE_REF in bio_iov_bvec_set block: remove a layer of indentation in bio_iov_iter_get_pages block: turn the nr_iovecs argument to bio_alloc* into an unsigned short block: remove the 1 and 4 vec bvec_slabs entries block: streamline bvec_alloc block: factor out a bvec_alloc_gfp helper block: move struct biovec_slab to bio.c block: reuse BIO_INLINE_VECS for integrity bvecs ...
