+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_stats
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		 Controls whether the multiblock allocator should
+		 collect statistics, which are shown during the unmount.
+		 1 means to collect statistics, 0 means not to collect
+		 statistics
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_group_prealloc
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		The multiblock allocator will round up allocation
+		requests to a multiple of this tuning parameter if the
+		stripe size is not set in the ext4 superblock
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_max_to_scan
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		The maximum number of extents the multiblock allocator
+		will search to find the best extent
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_min_to_scan
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		The minimum number of extents the multiblock allocator
+		will search to find the best extent
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_order2_req
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		Tuning parameter which controls the minimum size for 
+		requests (as a power of 2) where the buddy cache is
+		used
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/mb_stream_req
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		Files which have fewer blocks than this tunable
+		parameter will have their blocks allocated out of a
+		block group specific preallocation pool, so that small
+		files are packed closely together.  Each large file
+		 will have its blocks allocated out of its own unique
+		 preallocation pool.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/inode_readahead_blks
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		Tuning parameter which controls the maximum number of
+		inode table blocks that ext4's inode table readahead
+		algorithm will pre-read into the buffer cache
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/delayed_allocation_blocks
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		This file is read-only and shows the number of blocks
+		that are dirty in the page cache, but which do not
+		have their location in the filesystem allocated yet.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/lifetime_write_kbytes
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		This file is read-only and shows the number of kilobytes
+		of data that have been written to this filesystem since it was
+		created.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/session_write_kbytes
+Date:		March 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		This file is read-only and shows the number of
+		kilobytes of data that have been written to this
+		filesystem since it was mounted.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/inode_goal
+Date:		June 2008
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		Tuning parameter which (if non-zero) controls the goal
+		inode used by the inode allocator in preference to
+		all other allocation heuristics.  This is intended for
+		debugging use only, and should be 0 on production
+		systems.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/max_writeback_mb_bump
+Date:		September 2009
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		The maximum number of megabytes the writeback code will
+		try to write out before move on to another inode.
+
+What:		/sys/fs/ext4/<disk>/extent_max_zeroout_kb
+Date:		August 2012
+Contact:	"Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
+Description:
+		The maximum number of kilobytes which will be zeroed
+		out in preference to creating a new uninitialized
+		extent when manipulating an inode's extent tree.  Note
+		that using a larger value will increase the
+		variability of time necessary to complete a random
+		write operation (since a 4k random write might turn
+		into a much larger write due to the zeroout
+		operation).
