Why is EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL stored in jflag? It isn't just EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL. It is: jflag = flags & EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL; so it is EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL if it should be set by the current ioctl and 0 otherwise. But I agree that since we mostly do (jflag ^ oldflags) & EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL jflags is mostly useless as we could do just (flags ^ oldflags) & EXT4_JOURNAL_DATA_FL I guess it's mostly a relict from the past...
