https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42986--- Comment #8 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> 2012-03-27 05:33:47 ---That's fine, but it's also a gratuitous change to previously working userspace. It sounds like the right thing would be to leave <linux/ext2_fs.h> in place exporting only those constants as a backwards compatibility measure.
That's probably a good idea, given how widespread people use the flags.
