Linus Torvalds 9105b8aa50 SCSI fixes on 20181221
This is two simple target fixes and one discard related I/O starvation
 problem in sd.  The discard problem occurs because the discard page
 doesn't have a mempool backing so if the allocation fails due to
 memory pressure, we then lose the forward progress we require if the
 writeout is on the same device.  The fix is to back it with a mempool.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
