Why not use:

	WARN_ON_ONCE(journal_has_csum_v2orv3_feature() &&
		     journal->j_chksum_driver == NULL);

rather than open-coding it?  Yes, you would have to move that function
to the header and give it a better name.

As a side note, I've long thought about changing the macros to be shorter:

#define JBD2_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(j, name)				\
	((j)->j_format_version >= 2 &&					\
	 ((j)->j_superblock->s_feature_incompat &			\
	  cpu_to_be32((JBD2_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE_ ## name))))

so they can be used like:

static bool jbd2_journal_has_csum_v2or3_feature(journal_t *journal)
{
	return JBD2_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(journal, CSUM_V2) ||
	       JBD2_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(journal, CSUM_V3);
}

This not only makes the code much shorter and more readable, it also
avoids potentially hard-to-spot bugs like the following:

	JBD2_HAS_INCOMPAT_FEATURE(j, JBD2_FEATURE_COMPAT_CHECKSUM)

The same would be useful for the equivalent ext4 macros as well.

Cheers, Andreas
