That sounds good (if I follow your meaning correctly). How about
something like the patch below? If either ATTR_KILL bit is set after
the setattr, try to handle them in the "standard" way with a second
setattr call. It also does a printk in this situation to alert
filesystem developers that they should convert to the "new" scheme,
so they can avoid this second setattr call.
If this idea seems sound then I'll start the grunt work to fix up the
in-tree filesystems so that they don't need the second setattr call.

VFS: move ATTR_KILL handling from notify_change into helper function
Separate the handling of the local ia_valid bitmask from the one in
attr->ia_valid. This allows us to hand off the actual handling of the
ATTR_KILL_* flags to the .setattr i_op when one is defined.
notify_change still needs to process those flags for the local ia_valid
variable, since it uses that to decide whether to return early, and to pass
a (hopefully) appropriate bitmask to fsnotify_change.
Also, check the ia_valid after the setattr op returns and see if either
ATTR_KILL_* bit is set. If so, then throw a warning and try to clear the
bits in the "standard" way. This should help us to catch filesystems that
don't handle these bits correctly without breaking them outright.
