Linus Torvalds fbeea4db51 New features and improvements for the ext4 file system
* Optimize online defragmentation by using folios instead of individual
   buffer heads
 * Improve error codes stored in the superblock when the journal aborts
 * Minor cleanups and clarifications in ext4_map_blocks()
 * Add documentation of the casefold and encrypt flags
 * Add support for file systems with a blocksize greater than the pagesize
 * Improve performance by enabling the caching the fact that an inode does
   not have a Posix ACL.
 
 Various Bug Fixes
 
 * Fix false positive compliants from smatch
 * Fix error code which is returned by ext4fs_dirhash() when Siphash is
   used without the encryption key
 * Fix races when writing to inline data files which could trigger a BUG
 * Fix potential NULL dereference when there is an corrupt file system with
   an extended attribute value stored in a inode
 * Fix false positive lockdep report when syzbot uses ext4 and ocfs2 together
 * Fix false positive reported by DEPT by adjusting lock annotation
 * Avoid a potential BUG_ON in jbd2 when a file system is massively corrupted
 * Fix a WARN_ON when superblock is corrupted with a non-NULL terminated
   mount options field
 * Add check if the userspace passes in a non-NULL terminated mount options
   field to EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM
 * Fix a potential journal checksum failure whena file system is copied while
   it is mounted read-only
 * Fix a potential potential orphan file tracking error which only showed
   on 32-bit systems
 * Fix assertion checks in mballoc (which have to be explicitly enbled by
   manually enabling AGGRESSIVE_CHECKS and recompiling)
 * Avoid complaining about overly large orphan files created by mke2fs with
   with file systems with a 64k block size
