Re: [PATCH 1/1 linux-next] ext4: fix block_validity definition

I've applied this patch with some further cleanups. The documentation
for the mount options now reads:

block_validity(*) These options enable or disable the in-kernel
noblock_validity facility for tracking filesystem metadata blocks
within internal data structures. This allows multi-
block allocator and other routines to notice
bugs or corrupted allocation bitmaps which cause
blocks to be allocated which overlap with
filesystem metadata blocks.
