  • Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
    "A lot of bug fixes and cleanups for ext4, including:

    - Fix performance problems found in dioread_nolock now that it is the
    default, caused by transaction leaks.

    - Clean up fiemap handling in ext4

    - Clean up and refactor multiple block allocator (mballoc) code

    - Fix a problem with mballoc with a smaller file systems running out
    of blocks because they couldn't properly use blocks that had been
    reserved by inode preallocation.

    - Fixed a race in ext4_sync_parent() versus rename()

    - Simplify the error handling in the extent manipulation code

    - Make sure all metadata I/O errors are felected to
    ext4_ext_dirty()'s and ext4_make_inode_dirty()'s callers.

    - Avoid passing an error pointer to brelse in ext4_xattr_set()

    - Fix race which could result to freeing an inode on the dirty last
    in data=journal mode.

    - Fix refcount handling if ext4_iget() fails

    - Fix a crash in generic/019 caused by a corrupted extent node"
