We could define an XFS_ITEM_ERROR return, but I'm not sure it's worth it for what is currently stat/tracepoint logic in the caller. Perhaps a broader rework of error handling in this context is in order that would lift generic (fatal) error handling into xfsaild. E.g., I see that xfs_qm_dqflush() is inconsistent by itself in that the item is removed from the AIL if we're already shut down, but not if that function invokes the shutdown; we shutdown if the direct xfs_dqblk_verify() call fails but not if the read verifier (which also looks like it calls xfs_dqblk_verify() on every on-disk dquot) returns -EFSCORRUPTED, etc. It might make some sense to let iop_push() return negative error codes if that facilitates consistent error handling...
