f2fs copied all the on-disk i_flags from ext4, and along with it the assumption that the on-disk i_flags are the same as the bits used by FS_IOC_GETFLAGS and FS_IOC_SETFLAGS. This is problematic because reserving an on-disk inode flag in either filesystem's i_flags or in these ioctls effectively reserves it in all the other places too. In fact, most of the "f2fs i_flags" are not used by f2fs at all. Fix this by separating f2fs's i_flags from the ioctl bits and ext4's i_flags. In the process, un-reserve all "f2fs i_flags" that aren't actually supported by f2fs. This included various flags that were not settable at all, as well as various flags that were settable by FS_IOC_SETFLAGS but didn't actually do anything. There's a slight chance we'll need to add some flag(s) back to FS_IOC_SETFLAGS in order to avoid breaking users who expect f2fs to accept some random flag(s). But hopefully such users don't exist.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
