I see that if the flag is not set, the project id will be 0 instead. I'm not sure when that would actually be desirable. To the extent that the project ID is designed to implement a quota over a directory extent, the fact that the owner can clear the EXT4_PROJINHERET_FL and then arrange to have the quota charged to project 0 seems to me to be a bug, not a feature. Can you explain what your intended use case for this flag might be?
