on upstream kernel, running xfs/111 got the following error:
-------------------------------------------------
+xfs_fsr: xfs_bulkstat: Structure needs cleaning
-------------------------------------------------

Since kernel commit 29cad0b, we don't convert a -EFSCORRUPTED error
to -EINVAL in xfs_imap_to_bp() if we are doing an untrusted lookup.
So xfs_bulkstat() called by xfs_fsr command fails and returns
EFSCORRUPTED.  We think it is reasonable for xfs_fsr to report
EFSCORRUPTED because some inodes are actually corrupted.

Hi Dave,

I am not familiar with the bulkstat code in kernel, so i am not sure
if the fix patch is OK. Could you help me review it? Thanks a lot.

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang

So the test tripped over a filesystem corruption and it didn't
before? Regressions like this should be reported in full to the xfs
list when they are discovered, not silenced by the test.

We may decide that the test needs changing, but reporting the
regression to the upstream developers should be done first.

Cheers,

Dave.
