Well... there are a number of things we /could/ do... theoretically one
could use the rmap info to find all the affected inodes and simply convert
that part of their extent trees to 'unwritten'.  Reads will just get zeroes,
and writes will remove the unwritten flag (for that file, anyway).  Will a
successful write trigger the BB_CLEAR notifier?

I guess you could punch out the bad blocks too... not clear if you'd want
all the owner files staying mapped to data they'll never get back.

We could also create another rmap "special owner" (XFS_RMAP_OWN_BAD?) for bad
blocks, so we'd know which parts are just plain bad.  It might be useful to
know that kind of thing.

I think earlier Dave was talking about adding a new 'badblocks' bit to both
the file extent records and the rmap records to signify that something's
wrong with the extent.  <shrug> I'll let him write about that.

Woot.

Probably a xfs_rmapbt_query_range here?

Ick, there's got to be a better way to iterate the badblocks list than this.

It would be very nice to have a single function that deals with a change in
badness status, which would be called by both the notifier and the badblocks
iterator.

(Yeah, pretty much. :))
