Merge tag 'for-6.1/passthrough-2022-10-04' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux

Pull passthrough updates from Jens Axboe:
 "With these changes, passthrough NVMe support over io_uring now
  performs at the same level as block device O_DIRECT, and in many cases
  6-8% better.

  This contains:

   - Add support for fixed buffers for passthrough (Anuj, Kanchan)

   - Enable batched allocations and freeing on passthrough, similarly to
     what we support on the normal storage path (me)

   - Fix from Geert fixing an issue with !CONFIG_IO_URING"

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.
