The old kernel is most likely none the wiser, because it's unaware of the new feature, and isn't using it. However, writing to the filesystem may well corrupt metadata related to that new feature, and moving to a newer kernel which understand the feature will have problems. Right now the only ro-compat feature we have is the free inode btree, which showed up in v3.16. It would be good to push this back to all the active stable kernels, I think, so that if anyone is using newer mkfs (which enables the finobt feature) with older kernel releases, they'll be protected.
