Pull block updates from Jens Axboe:

- NVMe pull request via Keith:
- FC target fixes (Daniel)
- Authentication fixes and updates (Martin, Chris)
- Admin controller handling (Kamaljit)
- Target lockdep assertions (Max)
- Keep-alive updates for discovery (Alastair)
- Suspend quirk (Georg)

- MD pull request via Yu:
- Add support for a lockless bitmap.

A key feature for the new bitmap are that the IO fastpath is
lockless. If a user issues lots of write IO to the same bitmap
bit in a short time, only the first write has additional overhead
to update bitmap bit, no additional overhead for the following
writes.

By supporting only resync or recover written data, means in the
case creating new array or replacing with a new disk, there is no
need to do a full disk resync/recovery.

- Switch ->getgeo() and ->bios_param() to using struct gendisk rather
than struct block_device.

- Rust block changes via Andreas. This series adds configuration via
configfs and remote completion to the rnull driver. The series also
includes a set of changes to the rust block device driver API: a few
cleanup patches, and a few features supporting the rnull changes.

The series removes the raw buffer formatting logic from
`kernel::block` and improves the logic available in `kernel::string`
to support the same use as the removed logic.

- floppy arch cleanups

- Reduce the number of dereferencing needed for ublk commands

- Restrict supported sockets for nbd. Mostly done to eliminate a class
of issues perpetually reported by syzbot, by using nonsensical socket
setups.

- A few s390 dasd block fixes

- Fix a few issues around atomic writes

- Improve DMA interation for integrity requests

- Improve how iovecs are treated with regards to O_DIRECT aligment
constraints.

We used to require each segment to adhere to the constraints, now
only the request as a whole needs to.

- Clean up and improve p2p support, enabling use of p2p for metadata
payloads

- Improve locking of request lookup, using SRCU where appropriate

- Use page references properly for brd, avoiding very long RCU sections

- Fix ordering of recursively submitted IOs

- Clean up and improve updating nr_requests for a live device

- Various fixes and cleanups

handle this exact situation.

Merge tag 'md-6.18-20250909' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mdraid/linux into for-6.18/block

Pull MD changes from Yu Kuai:

"Redundant data is used to enhance data fault tolerance, and the storage
method for redundant data vary depending on the RAID levels. And it's
important to maintain the consistency of redundant data.

Bitmap is used to record which data blocks have been synchronized and
which ones need to be resynchronized or recovered. Each bit in the
bitmap represents a segment of data in the array. When a bit is set,
it indicates that the multiple redundant copies of that data segment
may not be consistent. Data synchronization can be performed based on
the bitmap after power failure or readding a disk. If there is no
bitmap, a full disk synchronization is required.

Due to known performance issues with md-bitmap and the unreasonable
implementations:

- self-managed IO submitting like filemap_write_page();
- global spin_lock

I have decided not to continue optimizing based on the current bitmap
implementation, this new bitmap is invented without locking from IO fast
path and can be used with fast disks.

Key features for the new bitmap:
- IO fastpath is lockless, if user issues lots of write IO to the same
