Linus Torvalds 36cd5c19c3 There are two major features for this merge window. The first is ... inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in the in-inode extended attribute area. (This requires that the file system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.) The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support. This is enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future. Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAABCAAGBQJQzTaLAAoJENNvdpvBGATwpqEQAM0WO9Kva3R8SoaD6NYOg4lN 8oxRlht6yogSd6wwYZm1c4YF9UrhloS9kHyWcH3Wmr9fhM5vig1ec12eDsDGrjBc Wb+x+YrmczSJzK380JLxmYnVSXQVFl7/hNqaRowffTOJwgySmp8oLrI88ZcaCmVU +qWG2x6eVhCEQrpin9Mv3D6pHkx2hfg9w5sB0K+kpgsdjqLZsmPRmxU9nx0nEJYC gmbpo8Dcsfqra6DJosQGo7eFq7J3fm9v1ql+QOxOjc9/zD2XwdQE1JZImehvno5i Ekwr9771fsw34/QHJebYRC/OkftmOn4OPuQejd+AKNdBR4mO8G/AsLCroD17uLNi NrtMkE6ecJPb3SflarZruNYTUhJfj3H6V9P/8wggpyPzT3l19sqP+2F6GwZspZiV EJb2iTKn0Phc2OD1MqO9gFP0g+IMH0kktYdxEf0V2QOQqhQHnPwxF+2Tp6bVQcQs KCetN37y60qJ+zKH9xukcXmWQJvnjgmWqZqpomoA4lrwgKazTNDJJ+R+N+r5HKMj 5cz2ntAhF8FfPhqVf+8DHgjKNUwm6C++O1+Lb9swZ0FkFi5Ob3OlwWaC75Gf4H+P 2DslBapfM79bX14a9BKaBjly5FsAha7OzR+xo0MZN+fEcMLEk33kcRovcY8DHqxU aadriOatYYixvSZ5lL3m =aNOf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4 Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o: "There are two major features for this merge window.
