Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
 "There are two major features for this merge window.  The first is
  inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in
  the in-inode extended attribute area.  (This requires that the file
  system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte
  inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.)

  The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support.  This is
  enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure
  will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future.

  Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug
  fixes."

nouser_xattr Disables Extended User Attributes. If you have extended
attribute support enabled in the kernel configuration
(CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR), extended attribute support
is enabled by default on mount. See the attr(5) manual
page and http://acl.bestbits.at/ for more information
about extended attributes.
