One thing that is (IMHO) missing from this patch series, is the last patch that removes all of the calls to ext4_error() before calling ext4_mark_group_bitmap_corrupted(), passing the error message as a parameter, and cals save_error_info() in that function. That would essentially change the code from aborting on any bitmap error to marking the filesystem and block group in error (avoiding it for any new allocations) but allows the filesystem to continue working. We might consider to control this with a mount option, similar to the "errors=" option, like "bitmap_error=error" or "bitmap_error=warning" or something similar? Cheers, Andreas
