Hi,

In order to test the non-trivial I/O path in the block layer for
REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES allow write-zeroes on null_blk so we can write
testcases with and without non-memory backed mode followed by
few cleanup patches.

Below is the test report with ext2/ext4 mkfs and a blktest
waiting to get upstream for this patch-series.

-ck

v1->v2:-

* Merge patch 1 and 2 (Damien).
* Change SECT_INX_IN_PAGE->SECT_OFFSET_IN_PAGE. (Damien)
* Add reviewed-by tags. (Damien)
* Add discard/write-zeroes module param to set the respective
  max sector length.

Chaitanya Kulkarni (7):
  null_blk: allow REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
  null_blk: code cleaup
  null_blk: initialize cmd->bio in __alloc_cmd()
  null_blk: don't use magic numbers in the code
  null_blk: remove extra space in switch condition
  null_blk: add param to set max disacrd sectors
  null_blk: add param to set max write-zeroes sects
