Me neither.  But let me try to work through some outcomes:

Upgrade succeeds -- xfs_db returns 0, needsrepair is set, repair runs
Cannot upgrade -- xfs_db returns 2, fs untouched
Feature already set -- xfs_db returns 2, fs untouched
FS corrupt -- xfs_db returns 1, fs untouched, repair runs
primary super write fails -- xfs_db returns 1, fs untouched, repair runs
secondary sb write fails -- xfs_db returns 1, primary super has
			    needsrepair set, repair runs

Does that seem thorough enough?  That's, uh, what the code in my dev
tree does now.  Will send out a v++ in a bit.

My expectation is that if xfs_db fails, the admin should run xfs_repair
to fix anything that's wrong with the fs.  Maybe they can skip that if
the primary super write fails with EIO, but that's up to the sysadmin's
judgment.
