The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.
The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:

Remove some leftovers from when the old block allocator was removed
(c2ea3fde). ext4_sb_info is now a bit lighter. Also remove a dangling
read_block_bitmap() prototype.

Convert the unsigned longs that are most responsible for bloating the
stack usage on 64-bit systems.
Nearly all places in the ext3/4 code which uses "unsigned long" is
probably a bug, since on 32-bit systems a ulong a 32-bits, which means
we are wasting stack space on 64-bit systems.

The i_ext_generation was incremented, but never used. Remove it to
slim down the ext4_inode_info structure.

The ext4 filesystem is getting stable enough that it's time to drop
the "dev" prefix. Also remove the requirement for the TEST_FILESYS
flag.

This patch does block reservation for delayed
allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time.
Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin()
time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of
reserved blocks is store in per inode counter.
At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned
back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.
Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
to fix the oldallocator block reservation accounting with delalloc, added
lock to guard the counters and also fix the reservation for meta blocks.

This patch makes ext4 use inode-based implementation of data=ordered mode
in JBD2. It allows us to unify some data=ordered and data=writeback paths
(especially writepage since we don't have to start a transaction anymore)
and remove some buffer walking.

to fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.

Move ext4 headers out of include/linux. This is just the trivial move,
there's some more thing that could be done later.
