I fixed this in 2.4, and then found an even worse bug in the 2.5 code;
the DIRSYNC flag is completely ignored *except* in the case where a
directory is newly created using mkdir and its parent directory has the
DIRSYNC flag. S_DIRSYNC doesn't get set in the ext2_new_inode() or the
ext2_ioctl() paths (which is used by chattr).
This patch centralizes the code which translates the ext2 flags in the
raw ext2 inode to the appropriate flag values in inode->i_flags in a
single location. This fixes the bug, makes things cleaner, and also
removes 30 lines of code and 128 bytes of compiled x86 text in the
bargain.

# Centralize setting inode flags from the raw ext2/3 inode
#
# This fixes a bug where the noatime flag not being honored in inodes
# which inherited noatime from their directory flag (at least not until
# inode was flushed out of the inode cache and then re-read into the inode
# cache later on), and also saves code because the common code has all been
# factored out.
#
# This also fixes an even worse bug with DIRSYNC; it was only being
# honored for newly created directories which inherited the DIRSYNC
# attribute. Pre-existing directories which were read using
# ext2_read_inode or which had the DIRSYNC attribute set via chattr
# did not have S_DIRSYNC set in inode->i_flags so the DIRSYNC attribute
# was getting ignored!
