Merge tag 'ext4_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4

Pull ext4 fixes from Ted Ts'o:
 "Regression and bug fixes:

   - Performance regression fix from 5.18 on a Rasberry Pi

   - Fix extent parsing bug which triggers a BUG_ON when a (corrupted)
     extent tree has has a non-root node when zero entries.

   - Fix a livelock where in the right (wrong) circumstances a large
     number of nfsd threads can try to write to a nearly full file
     system, and retry for hours(!)"

* tag 'ext4_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:
  ext4: limit the number of retries after discarding preallocations blocks
  ext4: fix bug in extents parsing when eh_entries == 0 and eh_depth > 0
  ext4: use buckets for cr 1 block scan instead of rbtree
  ext4: use locality group preallocation for small closed files
  ext4: make directory inode spreading reflect flexbg size
  ext4: avoid unnecessary spreading of allocations among groups
  ext4: make mballoc try target group first even with mb_optimize_scan
