20 hoursext4: fix ext4_tune_sb_params paddingArnd Bergmann
The padding at the end of struct ext4_tune_sb_params is architecture specific and in particular is different between x86-32 and x86-64, since the __u64 member only enforces struct alignment on the latter. This shows up as a new warning when test-building the headers with -Wpadded: include/linux/ext4.h:144:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded] All members inside the structure are naturally aligned, so the only difference here is the amount of padding at the end. Make the padding explicit, to have a consistent sizeof(struct ext4_tune_sb_params) of 232 on all architectures and avoid adding compat ioctl handling for EXT4_IOC_GET_TUNE_SB_PARAM/EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM. This is an ABI break on x86-32 but hopefully this can go into 6.18.y early enough as a fixup so no actual users will be affected. Alternatively, the kernel could handle the ioctl commands for both sizes (232 and 228 bytes) on all architectures.

2025-09-26ext4: implemet new ioctls to set and get superblock parametersTheodore Ts'o
Implement the EXT4_IOC_GET_TUNE_SB_PARAM and EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM ioctls, which allow certains superblock parameters to be set while the file system is mounted, without needing write access to the block device.

2023-04-19ext4: Add a uapi header for ext4 userspace APIsJosh Triplett
Create a uapi header include/uapi/linux/ext4.h, move the ioctls and associated data structures to the uapi header, and include it from fs/ext4/ext4.h.
