Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4
Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
"The big new feature added this time is supporting online resizing
using the meta_bg feature. This allows us to resize file systems
which are greater than 16TB. In addition, the speed of online
resizing has been improved in general.
We also fix a number of races, some of which could lead to deadlocks,
in ext4's Asynchronous I/O and online defrag support, thanks to good
work by Dmitry Monakhov.
There are also a large number of more minor bug fixes and cleanups
from a number of other ext4 contributors, quite of few of which have
submitted fixes for the first time."
