We can only reference 32-bit block numbers using the indirect block
scheme, so that's probably OK. The EA refcounting is definitely a
problem. As is the usages of expand_dir_proc in e2fsck/pass3.c.
Thanks for pointing that out. We'll need to do an audit with
-Wconversion. Unfortunately it is quite noisy, as you've noted.
I took a quick check about whether we could add -Wconversion to the
list of things which "make gcc-wall" would use, but the problem is
that it's quite noisy about things things things such as the bit
swapping and bit operations in bitops.h.
i've expanded your patch to fix up all of the useages of
ext2fs_write_dir_block() in e2fsck and applied it to my maint branch.
Thanks for pointing this out!

e2fsck: use ext2fs_write_dir_block3() instead of ext2fs_write_dir_block()
The use of ext2fs_write_dir_block() meant that attempts to fix
deleted/unused inodes in a directory would not be fixed for file
systems with 64-bit block numbers. (And some random block with the
high 32-bits cleared would get corrupted.)
Fix a similar problem when expanding directories and when creating the
lost+found dirctory.
