When we open a directory, we try to readahead block 0 of the directory on the assumption that we're going to need it soon. If the bmbt is corrupt, the directory will never be usable and the readahead fails immediately, so we might as well prevent the directory from being opened at all. This prevents a subsequent read or modify operation from hitting it and taking the fs offline. NOTE: We're only checking for early failures in the block mapping, not the readahead directory block itself. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
