[PATCH v3 5/5] block, xfs: implement 'force_failure' notifications

[Dan Williams]

Introduce a new super operation, 'force_failure', that is invoked by
force_failure_partition() when the block device is dead.  This
unambiguously communicates to a filesystem that i/o errors are permanent
and no recovery effort will succeed.

'force_failure' simply becomes another exceptional event that can
trigger xfs_force_shutdown().
