Applied to the ext4 tree.  I did make one formatting change.  Please
don't have blank lines between the if and else clauses, like this:

	if (sbi->s_stripe && sbi->s_stripe <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = sbi->s_stripe;

	else if (stripe_width <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = stripe_width;

	else if (stride <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = stride;

it wastes vertical whitespace and makes the control flow harder to
follow.  Eliminate the blank lines, and it's easier to read, I think.

	if (sbi->s_stripe && sbi->s_stripe <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = sbi->s_stripe;
	else if (stripe_width <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = stripe_width;
	else if (stride <= sbi->s_blocks_per_group)
		ret = stride;
