  * the metadata is correct but otherwise suboptimal, there's a "preen"
  * flag to signal that.  Finally, if we were unable to access a data
  * structure to perform cross-referencing, we can signal that as well.
+ *
+ * If a piece of metadata proves corrupt or suboptimal, the userspace
+ * program can ask the kernel to apply some tender loving care (TLC) to
+ * the metadata object.  "Corruption" is defined by metadata violating
+ * the on-disk specification; operations cannot continue if the
+ * violation is left untreated.  It is possible for XFS to continue if
+ * an object is "suboptimal", however performance may be degraded.
+ * Repairs are usually performed by rebuilding the metadata entirely out
+ * of redundant metadata.  Optimizing, on the other hand, can sometimes
+ * be done without rebuilding entire structures.
+ *
+ * Generally speaking, the repair code has the following code structure:
+ * Lock -> scrub -> repair -> commit -> re-lock -> re-scrub -> unlock.
+ * The first check helps us figure out if we need to rebuild or simply
+ * optimize the structure so that the rebuild knows what to do.  The
+ * second check evaluates the completeness of the repair; that is what
+ * is reported to userspace.
