I checked a few samples what's the type of the flags, there are unsigned
types while the proposed VFS functions take signed type.

Specifically ext4 uses unsigned type and his was the original API that
got copied so I'd think that it should unsigned everywhere.

For the btrfs bits

Acked-by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx>

and besides the signedness, the rest of the changes look good to me.
