My point was that the commit message of ext4-nanosecond-patch should 
explain the usage scenario for these variables. We may want to move the
commit message of ext4_expand_inode_extra_isize.patch reworded to this.


BTW i also think that adding s_{min, want}_extra_isize can be a separate 
patch altogether.
