	Let me see if I understand the above requirements.  In the same
call, you are going build a list of free chunk sizes.  Then you will
also count how many chunks of a user-specified size.  Why can't the user
just take the list and look at the size they want?  What do they get
from specifying a size to the ioctl(2)?

	I'm sorry, but this is just unreadable.  I get that we can only
abbreviate 'free-frag-scan' so many ways, but there is no way people
will understand this.
	I don't think renaming helps too much.  These names are always
going to be bad.  I think we *can* reduce the long structure strings,
mostly with helper functions.
	For example, here we could have:

static void o2ffg_update_histogram(struct ocfs2_info_free_chunk_list *hist,
                                   unsigned int chunksize)
{
	int index;

	index = __ilog2_u32(chunksize);
	if (index >= OCFS2_INFO_MAX_HIST)
		index = OCFS2_INFO_MAX_HIST - 1;

	hist->fc_chunks[index]++;
	hist->fc_clusters[index] += chunksize;
}

static void ocfs2_info_update_ffg(struct ocfs2_info_freefrag *ffg,
                                  unsigned int chunksize)
{
	o2ffg_update_histogram(&ffg->iff_ffs.ffs_fc_hist, chunksize);

 	...
}

and so on.  Btw, the chunksize can be an unsigned int, as the calling
function uses that type and not the more specific __u32.

	Same thoughts about ocfs2_ilookup() here.
