    Merge branch 'for-3.7/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block · ce40be7a
    Linus Torvalds authored
    Pull block IO update from Jens Axboe:
     "Core block IO bits for 3.7.  Not a huge round this time, it contains:
    
       - First series from Kent cleaning up and generalizing bio allocation
         and freeing.
    
       - WRITE_SAME support from Martin.
    
       - Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes
         the block size of a device.
    
       - Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
    
       - A few other minor fixups."
    
    Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
    Morton.  It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
    6b2dbba8: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
    
    So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
    internal VM knowledge that has changed.
