A stern warning is needed there, but it's also needed a few lines further down in the inode flags section where the FS_*_FL flags are defined. These were originally ext2-specific inode flags, and it's become generalized to a fs-independent set of bit fields, but what's nasty/important to remember is that these flags are also used as on-disk flags for ext2/3/4, and so extreme care is needed before new flags are for FS_IOC_GETFLAGS/FS_IOC_SETFLAGS are allocated.... In fact, I'd argue it's much more strongly needed for the FS_*_FL flags. - Ted -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
