Merge branch 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block IO driver bits from Jens Axboe: "As I mentioned in the core block pull request, due to real life circumstances the driver pull request would be late. Now it looks like -rc2 late... On the plus side, apart form the rsxx update, these are all things that I could argue could go in later in the cycle as they are fixes and not features. So even though things are late, it's not ALL bad. The pull request contains: - Updates to bcache, all bug fixes, from Kent. - A pile of drbd bug fixes (no big features this time!). - xen blk front/back fixes. - rsxx driver updates, some of them deferred form 3.10. So should be well cooked by now" * 'for-3.11/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (63 commits) bcache: Allocation kthread fixes bcache: Fix GC_SECTORS_USED() calculation bcache: Journal replay fix bcache: Shutdown fix bcache: Fix a sysfs splat on shutdown bcache: Advertise that flushes are supported bcache: check for allocation failures bcache: Fix a dumb race bcache: Use standard utility code bcache: Update email address bcache: Delete fuzz tester bcache: Document shrinker reserve better bcache: FUA fixes drbd: Allow online change of al-stripes and al-stripe-size drbd: Constants should be UPPERCASE drbd: Ignore the exit code of a fence-peer handler if it returns too late drbd: Fix rcu_read_lock balance on error path drbd: fix error return code in drbd_init() drbd: Do not sleep inside rcu bcache: Refresh usage docs ...

+Description:
+ Maximum number of grants to map persistently in

+ max_persistent_grants, the LRU kicks in and starts
+ removing 5% of max_persistent_grants every 100ms.

+What: /sys/module/xen_blkfront/parameters/max

+KernelVersion: 3.11
+Contact: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
+Description:
+ Maximum number of segments that the frontend will negotiate
+ with the backend for indirect descriptors. The default value
+ is 32 - higher value means more potential throughput but more
+ memory usage. The backend picks the minimum of the frontend
+ and its default backend value.
