Yeah, that's really the right answer. Having a common way of storing attributes in struct kstat (and notified via struct iattr and notify_change) is the right way for us to store some of these filesystem-common flags, and would make a huge amount of sense. I don't really view ths secure deletion and trash-bin support as really being an ext4 feature, but really a generic feature which can enhance multiple filesystems *including* ext4. So it would be really good idea to give these patches an airing on linux-fsdevel and linux-kernel.
