Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4

Pull ext4 updates from Ted Ts'o:
 "This merge window saw the the following new featuers added to ext4:

   - Direct I/O via iomap (required the iomap-for-next branch from
     Darrick as a prereq).

   - Support for using dioread-nolock where the block size < page size.

   - Support for encryption for file systems where the block size < page
     size.

   - Rework of journal credits handling so a revoke-heavy workload will
     not cause the journal to run out of space.

   - Replace bit-spinlocks with spinlocks in jbd2

  Also included were some bug fixes and cleanups, mostly to clean up
  corner cases from fuzzed file systems and error path handling"

-------------------
For file contents, each filesystem block is encrypted independently.
Currently, only the case where the filesystem block size is equal to
the system's page size (usually 4096 bytes) is supported.
Starting from Linux kernel 5.5, encryption of filesystems with block
size less than system's page size is supported.
Each block's IV is set to the logical block number within the file as
a little endian number, except that:
