Merge tag 'block-5.14-2021-08-27' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Revert the mq-deadline priority handling, it's causing serious
   performance regressions. While experimental patches exists to fix
   this up, it's too late to do so now. Revert it and re-do it properly
   for 5.15 instead.

 - Fix a NULL vs IS_ERR() regression in this release (Dan)

 - Fix a mq-deadline accounting regression in this release (Bart)

 - Mark cryptoloop as deprecated. It's broken and dm-crypt fully
   supports it, and it's actively intefering with loop. Plan on removal
   for 5.16 (Christoph)

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.
