Subject: [PATCH] ext4: add ability to control the pseudo-random seed used by ext4
Ext4 uses a pseudo-random generator in a few places: to spread out
directories when htree is not enabled; to randomize thethe wait times
for MMP backoff and lazy inode table initialization. For benchmarking
purposes, it's useful to control the psueorandom number seed, expose
this via /sys/fs/ext4/<dev>/prandom_seed.
