Andrew added to CC list. Andrew: Please consider the patch below for
inclusion in the mm tree.

Done, see below.

Agreed, ext3_blocks_are_metadata() is more appropriate.

OK, comment removed.

Thanks again for your assistance and your patience, Andreas.

This is a port of an old linux-2.4 patch by Andreas Dilger for handling
on-disk corruption.

From the changelog of the 2.4-patch:

        In case of on-disk corruption, the current ext2/3 code will
        happily reallocate or mark free blocks in the system area
        (bitmaps, inode table, etc) instead of ignoring the bad
        alloc/free and leaving the system blocks alone.  This will
        cause further corruption of the filesystem as metadata
        gets overwritten by file data and in turn causes more bad
        alloc/free requests.

Unlike in the original version, the check whether a set of blocks are
metadata is moved to a new function, ext3_blocks_are_metadata(). There
is also another new function, fix_group(), which is called whenever
an on-disk corruption is detected and which performs the actual fixing.
