The reason that we allow partial opening is that sometimes,
we may have some corrupted trees.(for example extent tree), for
fsck repair case, the broken tree may be rebuilt later.

So if users only want to do check but not repair anything, this
patch will make fsck return failure as soon as possible and
tell users that some critial roots have been corrupted.

Ok, that partially answers my question under v1. This would be a
different mode, eg. a fast check, that would bail out quickly as you
intend. I'd really want to keep the (full) check and repair to do the
same sort of checks and verification.

Mm...That is reasonable too..

Acutally, now fsck would bail out if if found some errors. For example
if we fail to check csum tree, it won't check fs root.

I don't have ideas that whether fsck should continue if error happen,
for example, logic error, enomem....
