69 * When a filesystem is unable to read an inode due to an I/O error in
70 * its read_inode() function, it can call make_bad_inode() to return a
71 * set of stubs which will return EIO errors as required.
73 * We only need to do limited initialisation: all other fields are
74 * preinitialised to zero automatically.
78 * make_bad_inode - mark an inode bad due to an I/O error
79 * @inode: Inode to mark bad
81 * When an inode cannot be read due to a media or remote network
82 * failure this function makes the inode "bad" and causes I/O operations
83 * on it to fail from this point on.
