Since this is essentially just a 4-bit mask, which also works fine if the stream
ID is an arbitrary value, it would be more clear to just define a mask like
RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK that covers these bits instead of spelling out individual bits.

This should just pass all of the bits through:

	if (flags & RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK) {
		file_inode(filp)->i_stream =
			((flags & RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK) >> RWF_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT;
		kiocb.ki_flags |=
			file_inode(filp)->i_stream << IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT;
	}

#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT	7
#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_MASK	(0xf << IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT)

or if you want to make it clear which bits are actually used, either:

#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_MASK	((1 << 7) | (1 << 8) | (1 << 9) | (1 <<10))

or

#define IOCB_WRITE_LIFE_MASK	(BIT(7) | BIT(8) | BIT(9) | BIT(10))

#define RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK		(0xf << RWF_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT)

or

#define RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK		0x00000078

Alternately, just leave a hole in the RWF flags and use

#define RWF_WRITE_LIFE_SHIFT		4
#define	RWF_WRITE_LIFE_MASK		0x000000f0
