Merge tag 'for-6.10/block-20240511' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux
Pull block updates from Jens Axboe: - Add a partscan attribute in sysfs, fixing an issue with systemd relying on an internal interface that went away. - Attempt #2 at making long running discards interruptible. The previous attempt went into 6.9, but we ended up mostly reverting it as it had issues. - Remove old ida_simple API in bcache - Support for zoned write plugging, greatly improving the performance on zoned devices. - Remove the old throttle low interface, which has been experimental since 2017 and never made it beyond that and isn't being used. - Remove page->index debugging checks in brd, as it hasn't caught anything and prepares us for removing in struct page. - MD pull request from Song - Don't schedule block workers on isolated CPUs * tag 'for-6.10/block-20240511' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux: (84 commits) blk-throttle: delay initialization until configuration blk-throttle: remove CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW block: fix that util can be greater than 100% block: support to account io_ticks precisely block: add plug while submitting IO bcache: fix variable length array abuse in btree_iter bcache: Remove usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API md: Revert "md: Fix overflow in is_mddev_idle" blk-lib: check for kill signal in ioctl BLKDISCARD block: add a bio_await_chain helper block: add a blk_alloc_discard_bio helper block: add a bio_chain_and_submit helper block: move discard checks into the ioctl handler block: remove the discard_granularity check in __blkdev_issue_discard block/ioctl: prefer different overflow check null_blk: Fix the WARNING: modpost: missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() block: fix and simplify blkdevparts= cmdline parsing block: refine the EOF check in blkdev_iomap_begin block: add a partscan sysfs attribute for disks block: add a disk_has_partscan helper ...

-Description:
- [RW] This is the time window that blk-throttle samples data, in
- millisecond. blk-throttle makes decision based on the
- samplings. Lower time means cgroups have more smooth throughput,
- but higher CPU overhead. This exists only when
- CONFIG_BLK_DEV_THROTTLING_LOW is enabled.
