ext4: ensure Inode flags consistency are checked at build time
Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g. ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL. It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at run-time. Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but, there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in comparing constants at build-time. enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an enumeration type at build time Signed-off-by: Carlos Maiolino <cmaiolino@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
