  To: Ext4 Developers List; +Cc: agayev, Theodore Ts'o

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.
