about the state of the extent status cache.
Dropped workaround for pre-1970 dates which were encoded incorrectly
in pre-4.4 kernels. Since both the kernel correctly generates, and
e2fsck detects and fixes this issue for the past four years, it'e time
to drop the workaround. (Also, it's not like files with dates in the
distant past were all that common in the first place.)
A lot of miscellaneous bug fixes and cleanups, including some ext4
Documentation fixes. Also included are two minor bug fixes in
fs/unicode.

This commit aims to fix the following issues in ext4 documentation:
- Flexible block group docs said that the aim was to group block
metadata together instead of block group metadata.
- The documentation consistly uses "location" instead of "block number".
It is easy to confuse location to be an absolute offset on disk. Added
a line to clarify all location values are in terms of block numbers.
- Dirent2 docs said that the rec_len field is shortened instead of the
name_len field.
- Typo in bg_checksum description.
- Inode size is 160 bytes now, and hence i_extra_isize is now 32.
- Cluster size formula was incorrect, it did not include the +10 to
s_log_cluster_size value.
- Typo: there were two s_wtime_hi in the superblock struct.
- Superblock struct was outdated, added the new fields which were part
of s_reserved earlier.
- Multiple mount protection seems to be implemented in fs/ext4/mmp.c.
