[PATCH-v4 6/7] ext4: add support for a lazytime mount option

Theodore Ts'o
2014-11-26T10:24:08Z

Add an optimization for the MS_LAZYTIME mount option so that we will
opportunistically write out any inodes with the I_DIRTY_TIME flag set
in a particular inode table block when we need to update some inode in
that inode table block anyway.

Also add some temporary code so that we can set the lazytime mount
option without needing a modified /sbin/mount program which can set
MS_LAZYTIME. We can eventually make this go away once util-linux has
added support.
