Pull ext4 updates for 3.4 from Ted Ts'o:
 "Ext4 commits for 3.3 merge window; mostly cleanups and bug fixes

  The changes to export dirty_writeback_interval are from Artem's s_dirt
  cleanup patch series.  The same is true of the change to remove the
  s_dirt helper functions which never got used by anyone in-tree.  I've
  run these changes by Al Viro, and am carrying them so that Artem can
  more easily fix up the rest of the file systems during the next merge
  window.  (Originally we had hopped to remove the use of s_dirt from
  ext4 during this merge window, but his patches had some bugs, so I
  ultimately ended dropping them from the ext4 tree.)"

The resize mount option seems to be of limited value,
especially in the age of online resize2fs.  Nuke it.

The V2 journal format was introduced around ten years ago,
for ext3. It seems highly unlikely that anyone will need this
migration option for ext4.

<title>ext4: add new online resize interface</title>

<content type='text'>
This patch adds new online resize interface, whose input argument is a
64-bit integer indicating how many blocks there are in the resized fs.

In new resize impelmentation, all work like allocating group tables
are done by kernel side, so the new resize interface can support
flex_bg feature and prepares ground for suppoting resize with features
like bigalloc and exclude bitmap. Besides these, user-space tools just
passes in the new number of blocks.

We delay initializing the bitmaps and inode tables of added groups if
possible and add multi groups (a flex groups) each time, so new resize
is very fast like mkfs.

For a long time now orlov is the default block allocator in the
ext4. It performs better than the old one and no one seems to claim
otherwise so we can safely drop it and make oldalloc and orlov mount
option deprecated.

This is a part of the effort to reduce number of ext4 options hence the
test matrix.

Acl and user_xattr mount options are no longer needed since those
features are enabled by default if configured in (seee commit
ea6633369458992241599c9d9ebadffaeddec164). We can not easily deprecate
mount options itself (since it is probably too early), but we can
remove it from documentation first.

<title>ext4: improve handling of conflicting mount options</title>

If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for
delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead
of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at
dmesg and notice the warning).

Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed
allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and
furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported.  Improve the text in
Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well.

Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the
file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of
printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.
