Merge tag 'for-6.4/block-2023-05-06' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux

Pull more block updates from Jens Axboe:

 - MD pull request via Song:
      - Improve raid5 sequential IO performance on spinning disks, which
        fixes a regression since v6.0 (Jan Kara)
      - Fix bitmap offset types, which fixes an issue introduced in this
        merge window (Jonathan Derrick)

 - Cleanup of hweight type used for cgroup writeback (Maxim)

 - Fix a regression with the "has_submit_bio" changes across partitions
   (Ming)

 - Cleanup of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM clearing.

   We used to set this flag on queues non blk-mq queues, and hence some
   drivers clear it unconditionally. Since all of these have since been
   converted to true blk-mq drivers, drop the useless clear as the bit
   is not set (Chaitanya)

 - Fix the flags being set in a bio for a flush for drbd (Christoph)

 - Cleanup and deduplication of the code handling setting block device
   capacity (Damien)

 - Fix for ublk handling IO timeouts (Ming)

 - Fix for a regression in blk-cgroup teardown (Tao)

 - NBD documentation and code fixes (Eric)

 - Convert blk-integrity to using device_attributes rather than a second
   kobject to manage lifetimes (Thomas)

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.
