Subject: [PATCH] Copy i_flags to ext3 inode flags on write

  Hello,

  attached is a patch that stores inode flags such as S_IMMUTABLE,
S_APPEND, etc. from i_flags to EXT3_I(inode)->i_flags when inode is
written to disk. The same thing is done on GETFLAGS ioctl.
  Quota code changes these flags on quota files (to make it harder for
sysadmin to screw himself) and these changes were not correctly
propagated into the filesystem (especially, lsattr did not show them and
users were wondering...).
  If people agree that this patch is fine, I can also rediff it for
ext4.
