Add documentation for mount options and ioctls to Documentation/filesystem/ext4.txt, which has not been udpated for some time. Also add for ext4 sysfs tunables to the Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-fs-ext4 file, and fix a few typographical errors in that file. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9423 Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
|
|
parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
|
|
block group specific preallocation pool, so that small

|
files are packed closely together. Each large file
|
|
will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
|
|
preallocation pool.
