That's what the metadata checksum test script was supposed to be about.  I'm
not sure if it's actually getting through to anyone -- Google doesn't seem to
have any links to it.

It's a big script that takes a bunch of mke2fs flags and runs through a bunch
of corruption detection tests to see if the running kernel and e2fsck notice.
The nice thing about the script is that it can cycle through a lot of different
features, block sizes, etc. pretty quickly, which seems difficult to do with
the plain 'make check' tests.

I could look into turning them into a bunch of ext4 xfstests.
