Thanks for your reply and noticing this. :)
Yes, as I talked with you about read_mapping_page() in a xfs related
topic earlier, I think I fully understand what returns here.
I actually had some concern about that before sending out this patch.
You know the status is
PG_uptodate is not set and PG_error is set here.
But we cannot know it is actually a disk read error or due to
corrupted images (due to lack of page flags or some status, and
I think it could be a waste of page structure space for such
corrupted image or disk error)...
And some people also like propagate errors from insiders...
(and they could argue about err = -EFSCORRUPTED as well..)
I'd like hear your suggestion about this after my words above?
still return -EFSCORRUPTED?
Thanks,
Gao Xiang
