As Johannes suggested, you may also want to update your email address (I did not do so as this is somewhat personal information). Best regards.

Add the description of the zoned, nr_zones and chunk_sectors sysfs queue attributes to Documentation/block/queue-sysfs.txt. The description of the zoned and chunk_sector attributes are mostly copied from ABI/testing/sysfs-block (added a typo fix). While at it, also fix a typo in the description of the io_poll_delay attribute. nr_zones description is also added to ABI/testing/sysfs-block and contact email address updated for the zoned attribute.
