  ext4: Add a uapi header for ext4 userspace APIs (2023-04-19 23:39:42 -0400)

-------
Please note that after merging the mm and ext4 trees you will need to
apply the patch found here[1].

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230419120923.3152939-1-willy@infradead.org

This is due to a patch in the mm tree, "mm: return an ERR_PTR from
__filemap_get_folio" changing that function to returning an ERR_PTR
instead of returning NULL on an error.  Because we have a lot of folio
changes flowing in various trees, this patch can't be applied to
either the ext4 or mm trees, but only *after* the two trees are merged
together.  There are also some minor merge conflicts again caused by
other folio changes.  Commit 5854356ab539 from linux-next's
next-20230424 has the merge conflicts resolved as well as the patch in
[1].  For more details/discussion, please see [2] and the prediction
in [3], "I'm sure Linus will love it".  :-P

----------------------------------------------------------------
There are a number of major cleanups in ext4 this cycle:

* The data=journal writepath has been significantly cleaned up and
  simplified, and reduces a large number of data=journal special cases
  by Jan Kara.

* Ojaswin Muhoo has replaced linked list used to track extents that
  have been used for inode preallocation with a red-black tree in the
  multi-block allocator.  This improves performance for workloads
  which do a large number of random allocating writes.

* Thanks to Kemeng Shi for a lot of cleanup and bug fixes in the
  multi-block allocator.

* Matthew wilcox has converted the code paths for reading and writing
  ext4 pages to use folios.

* Jason Yan has continued to factor out ext4_fill_super() into smaller
  functions for improve ease of maintenance and comprehension.

* Josh Triplett has created an uapi header for ext4 userspace API's.
