Dear Maintainer,
I was wondering if there are still any concerns or questions regarding this patch series.
The patches have been updated based on the previous review comments and have also passed the Sashiko AI review.
I would appreciate any further feedback and look forward to your reply.

This series improves mballoc statistics reporting and control by adding
blocks_allocated to /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_stats, using
READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE() for concurrent accesses to s_mb_stats, and
allowing mballoc stats to be controlled through
/proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_stats.
Changes in v6:
- Serialize proc and sysfs updates to s_mb_stats with a mutex so that
clearing mb_stats through the proc control path cannot race with
concurrent administrative writes.

ext4: add blocks_allocated to mb_stats output
ext4: use READ_ONCE/WRITE_ONCE for s_mb_stats
ext4: allow controlling mballoc stats through proc mb_stats
