      Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
      
       - various fixes and improvements to request-based DM and DM multipath
      
       - some locking improvements in DM bufio
      
       - add Kconfig option to disable the DM block manager's extra locking
         which mainly serves as a developer tool
      
       - a few bug fixes to DM's persistent-data
      
       - a couple changes to prepare for multipage biovec support in the block
         layer
      
       - various improvements and cleanups in the DM core, DM cache, DM raid
         and DM crypt
      
       - add ability to have DM crypt use keys from the kernel key retention
         service
      
       - add a new "error_writes" feature to the DM flakey target, reads are
         left unchanged in this mode

      Pull MD updates from Shaohua Li:
      
       - a raid5 writeback cache feature.
      
         The goal is to aggregate writes to make full stripe write and reduce
         read-modify-write. It's helpful for workload which does sequential
         write and follows fsync for example. This feature is experimental and
         off by default right now.
      
       - FAILFAST support.
      
         This fails IOs to broken raid disks quickly, so can improve latency.
         It's mainly for DASD storage, but some patches help normal raid array
         too.
      
       - support bad block for raid array with external metadata
      
       - AVX2 instruction support for raid6 parity calculation
      
       - normalize MD info output
      
       - add missing blktrace
      
       - other bug fixes

      Pull another MMC update from Ulf Hansson:
       "Here's a second pull request for MMC for v4.10.
      
        As a matter of fact it's only one change that moves some mmc files
        around. I thought it was a good idea to get this into v4.10, as it
        gives us a nice and fresh base for v4.11. Summary:
      
        MMC core:
      
         - Move files from the card directory to the core directory to enable
           future clean-ups of the generic mmc header files and interfaces"

      Pull SCSI updates from James Bottomley:
       "This update includes the usual round of major driver updates (ncr5380,
        lpfc, hisi_sas, megaraid_sas, ufs, ibmvscsis, mpt3sas).
      
        There's also an assortment of minor fixes, mostly in error legs or
        other not very user visible stuff. The major change is the
        pci_alloc_irq_vectors replacement for the old pci_msix_.. calls; this
        effectively makes IRQ mapping generic for the drivers and allows
        blk_mq to use the information"

      Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
       "This merge request includes the dax-4.0-iomap-pmd branch which is
        needed for both ext4 and xfs dax changes to use iomap for DAX. It also
        includes the fscrypt branch which is needed for ubifs encryption work
        as well as ext4 encryption and fscrypt cleanups.
      
        Lots of cleanups and bug fixes, especially making sure ext4 is robust
        against maliciously corrupted file systems --- especially maliciously
        corrupted xattr blocks and a maliciously corrupted superblock. Also
        fix ext4 support for 64k block sizes so it works well on ppcle. Fixed
        mbcache so we don't miss some common xattr blocks that can be merged"
