385block_validity This options allows to enables/disables the in-kernel
386noblock_validity facility for tracking filesystem metadata blocks
387 within internal data structures. This allows multi-
388 block allocator and other routines to quickly locate
389 extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata
390 blocks. This option is intended for debugging

393
394dioread_lock Controls whether or not ext4 should use the DIO read
395dioread_nolock locking. If the dioread_nolock option is specified
396 ext4 will allocate uninitialized extent before buffer
397 write and convert the extent to initialized after IO
398 completes. This approach allows ext4 code to avoid
399 using inode mutex, which improves scalability on high
400 speed storages. However this does not work with nobh
401 option and the mount will fail. Nor does it work with
402 data journaling and dioread_nolock option will be
403 ignored with kernel warning. Note that dioread_nolock
404 code path is only used for extent-based files.
