For the moment, taking Andreas's comments into account, I'll just drop the call to ext4_get_inode_flags() and just assume ei->i_flags is correct. I'm not sure whether to push the APPEND and IMMUTABLE attribute transfers to the generic code - it makes sense for all filesystems that support such flags and not for those that don't:-/ And, true, the same could be said of the AUTOMMOUNT attribute.
