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"
