Why hasn't the buffer verifier done this validation?

As you can see the above hunk has a bad CRC check from the verifier,
and if the attr header is wrong then the verifier should be setting
bp->b_error == -EFSCORRUPTED.

So shouldn't this simply be:

+	if (bp->b_error == -EFSCORRUPTED) {
+		*repair = 0;
+		libxfs_putbuf(bp);
+		return 1;
+	}
+

Cheers,

Dave.
