Merge tag 'for-4.18/block-20180603' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - clean up how we pass around gfp_t and
   blk_mq_req_flags_t (Christoph)

 - prepare us to defer scheduler attach (Christoph)

 - clean up drivers handling of bounce buffers (Christoph)

 - fix timeout handling corner cases (Christoph/Bart/Keith)

 - bcache fixes (Coly)

 - prep work for bcachefs and some block layer optimizations (Kent).

 - convert users of bio_sets to using embedded structs (Kent).

 - fixes for the BFQ io scheduler (Paolo/Davide/Filippo)

 - lightnvm fixes and improvements (Matias, with contributions from Hans
   and Javier)

 - adding discard throttling to blk-wbt (me)

 - sbitmap blk-mq-tag handling (me/Omar/Ming).

 - remove the sparc jsflash block driver, acked by DaveM.

 - Kyber scheduler improvement from Jianchao, making it more friendly
   wrt merging.

 - conversion of symbolic proc permissions to octal, from Joe Perches.
   Previously the block parts were a mix of both.

 - nbd fixes (Josef and Kevin Vigor)

 - unify how we handle the various kinds of timestamps that the block
   core and utility code uses (Omar)

 - three NVMe pull requests from Keith and Christoph, bringing AEN to
   feature completeness, file backed namespaces, cq/sq lock split, and
   various fixes

 - various little fixes and improvements all over the map
