Merge tag 'for-4.21/block-20181221' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block/storage for 4.21.

Larger than usual, it was a busy round with lots of goodies queued up.
Most notable is the removal of the old IO stack, which has been a long
time coming. No new features for a while, everything coming in this
week has all been fixes for things that were previously merged.

This contains:

- Use atomic counters instead of semaphores for mtip32xx (Arnd)

- Cleanup of the mtip32xx request setup (Christoph)

- Fix for circular locking dependency in loop (Jan, Tetsuo)

- bcache (Coly, Guoju, Shenghui)
* Optimizations for writeback caching
* Various fixes and improvements

- nvme (Chaitanya, Christoph, Sagi, Jay, me, Keith)
* host and target support for NVMe over TCP
* Error log page support
* Support for separate read/write/poll queues
* Much improved polling
* discard OOM fallback
* Tracepoint improvements

- lightnvm (Hans, Hua, Igor, Matias, Javier)
* Igor added packed metadata to pblk. Now drives without metadata
per LBA can be used as well.
* Fix from Geert on uninitialized value on chunk metadata reads.
* Fixes from Hans and Javier to pblk recovery and write path.
* Fix from Hua Su to fix a race condition in the pblk recovery
code.
* Scan optimization added to pblk recovery from Zhoujie.
* Small geometry cleanup from me.

- Conversion of the last few drivers that used the legacy path to
blk-mq (me)

- Removal of legacy IO path in SCSI (me, Christoph)

- Removal of legacy IO stack and schedulers (me)

- Support for much better polling, now without interrupts at all.
blk-mq adds support for multiple queue maps, which enables us to
have a map per type. This in turn enables nvme to have separate
completion queues for polling, which can then be interrupt-less.
Also means we're ready for async polled IO, which is hopefully
coming in the next release.

- Killing of (now) unused block exports (Christoph)

- Unification of the blk-rq-qos and blk-wbt wait handling (Josef)

- Support for zoned testing with null_blk (Masato)

- sx8 conversion to per-host tag sets (Christoph)

- IO priority improvements (Damien)

- mq-deadline zoned fix (Damien)

- Ref count blkcg series (Dennis)

- Lots of blk-mq improvements and speedups (me)

- sbitmap scalability improvements (me)

- Make core inflight IO accounting per-cpu (Mikulas)

- Export timeout setting in sysfs (Weiping)

- Cleanup the direct issue path (Jianchao)

- Export blk-wbt internals in block debugfs for easier debugging
(Ming)

- Lots of other fixes and improvements"

block: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c

block: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

config FOO
bool

config FOO
bool
default n

With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.
