Hi!

In super-recover.c, around line 96, check_super calls 
btrfs_super_csum_size, which then dies because the size was too big.
I have solved this by reimplementing that stub inside super-recover.c 
with error handling rather than crashing:



(Sorry for bad formatting)
This allowed me to recover my superblocks

I found this bug kind of ironic because a routine made to discover bad 
data, crashed because it encountered bad data :D

Oh, we have only fixed check_super() in disk_io.c, forgot this one.

We need to merge it with the one in disk_io.c, which checks super more 
comprehensively.

Nice one.

Thanks,
