Hi,

Won't this break 'chattr' on files that already have this flag set?
FS_IOC_GETFLAGS will return this flag, so 'chattr' will pass it back to
FS_IOC_SETFLAGS which will return EOPNOTSUPP due to this:

        if (ext4_mask_flags(inode->i_mode, flags) != flags)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;

You are right for this and we also need take care of this in 
EXT4_IOC_FSSETXATTR/
this is a bit strange behavior as chattr read existed flags
but could not set them again, there are several possible ways that I could think
of to fix the issue?

1) change chattr to filter Project inherit bit before call FS_IOC_SETFLAGS

2) we automatically fixed the flag before mask check, something like:
if reg:
     flags &= ~PROJECT_INHERT;
      if (ext4_mask_flags(inode->i_mode, flags) != flags)
                return -EOPNOTSUPP;
But this might be not good..

I would prefer solution 1)
What do you think?
