Hmm.  I think we need to have ext4_count_free_clusters() act as though corrupt
block groups have "zero" free blocks so that mballoc will pass the -ENOSPC
errors back to the upper layers.  Afaict, if one doesn't do this, ext4
encounters the situation where marking the blocks in use fails, yet the fs
thinks there are free blocks still and ... leaves the pages dirty forever,
instead of simply failing.

Just trying this really quickly, if I blast /all/ the block groups, I see
unstoppable errors in dmesg.

The other thing I noticed is that if one turns delalloc mode on, performs a
live corruption of the bg descriptors, and then dd's a big file to the fs,
there's no error reported back to userspace either in write(), sync(), or even
umount().  Meanwhile, dmesg is getting hit with tons of corrupted-bitmap
errors.

More for me to ponder....
