Merge branch 'for-3.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata
Pull libata regression fix from Tejun Heo: "The last libata/for-3.16-fixes pull contained a regression introduced by 1871ee134b73 ("libata: support the ata host which implements a queue depth less than 32") which in turn was a fix for a regression introduced earlier while changing queue tag order to accomodate hard drives which perform poorly if tags are not allocated in circular order (ugh...). The regression happens only for SAS controllers making use of libata to serve ATA devices. They don't fill an ata_host field which is used by the new tag allocation function leading to NULL dereference. This patch adds a new intermediate field ata_host->n_tags which is initialized for both SAS and !SAS cases to fix the issue" * 'for-3.16-fixes' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: libata: introduce ata_host->n_tags to avoid oops on SAS controllers
