Can you run a xfs_io stat command on one ofthe files so we can see
what flag is set? i.e.

$ xfs_io -c stat $file

Not that I know of.

Which makes me think that the project quota inheritance flag has
been recursively set on all files, not just directories. The code
allows that to occur, even though it only has meaning for directory
inodes. If this is the case, then the above warning and removal of
the flag is harmless.
