Keep in mind we can't do this without all the userspace side support
for the addition to the in-disk format....

That's a problem. The flag needs to be added so that we can /view/
the state of the inode through xfs_io. Just because we can't set it
through the extended inode flag interface doesn't mean the flag
should not exist.

Yikes, no! Darrick already mentioned this, but it needs pointing out
again...

Especially as it means that we are setting the immutable flag before
we've allocated all the extents to fill the file space. If we've
implemented immutable extent maps correctly, then xfs_bmapi_write()
should be rejecting any attempt to allocate or modify extents if
that flag is set on the inode, which means this code will now fail
to allocate/zero anything...

IOWs, this flag should be the last thing that is set on the inode
once it's been fully allocated and zeroed.

Cheers,

Dave.
