Merge tag 'for-linus-20190112' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block fixes from Jens Axboe: - NVMe pull request from Christoph, with little fixes all over the map - Loop caching fix for offset/bs change (Jaegeuk Kim) - Block documentation tweaks (Jeff, Jon, Weiping, John) - null_blk zoned tweak (John) - ahch mvebu suspend/resume support. Should have gone into the merge window, but there was some confusion on which tree had it.

+Description:
