Any time that the runtime code thinks it has found corrupt metadata, it should tell the health tracking subsystem that the corresponding part of the filesystem is sick. These reports come primarily from two places -- code that is reading a buffer that fails validation, and higher level pieces that observe a conflict involving multiple buffers. This patchset uses automated scanning to update all such callsites with a mark_sick call. Doing this enables the health system to record problem observed at runtime, which (for now) can prompt the sysadmin to run xfs_scrub, and (later) may enable more targetted fixing of the filesystem. Note: Earlier reviewers of this patchset suggested that the verifier functions themselves should be responsible for calling _mark_sick. In a higher level language this would be easily accomplished with lambda functions and closures. For the kernel, however, we'd have to create the necessary closures by hand, pass them to the buf_read calls, and then implement necessary state tracking to detach the xfs_buf from the closure at the necessary time. This is far too much work and complexity and will not be pursued further. This has been running on the djcloud for months with no problems. Enjoy! Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
