If delalloc, mballoc, extents are the new defaults, is there a reason to
keep them as options?  When would you need to specify -o extents, now,
for example?  (though my brain is fuzzy today, maybe I'm missing
something)  If this were not a filesystem ending in "dev" I could see
keeping it for compatibility with existing fstabs....


Most of the  options have the <option> no<option> pairs. I guess we would
need it so that kernel won't throw the error "Unrecognized mount option "


I am also not sure whether we will have the above patch merged upstream
when we push mballoc and delalloc.

I'd either update this comment ^^^^ or remove it, I think.



I will remove it. Anybody reading the kernel code should be able to figure it out.
