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

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "Improvements to ext4's block allocator performance for very large file
  systems, especially when the file system or files which are highly
  fragmented. There is a new mount option, prefetch_block_bitmaps which
  will pull in the block bitmaps and set up the in-memory buddy bitmaps
  when the file system is initially mounted.

  Beyond that, a lot of bug fixes and cleanups. In particular, a number
  of changes to make ext4 more robust in the face of write errors or
  file system corruptions"

Ioctls
======
There is some Ext4 specific functionality which can be accessed by applications
through the system call interfaces. The list of all Ext4 specific ioctls are
shown in the table below.
Ext4 implements various ioctls which can be used by applications to access
ext4-specific functionality. An incomplete list of these ioctls is shown in the
table below. This list includes truly ext4-specific ioctls (``EXT4_IOC_*``) as
well as ioctls that may have been ext4-specific originally but are now supported
by some other filesystem(s) too (``FS_IOC_*``).

FS_IOC_GETFLAGS
Get additional attributes associated with inode. The ioctl argument is
an integer bitfield, with bit values described in ext4.h. This ioctl is
an alias for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS.
