Doing this as an ioctl which gets called right after opendir, i.e
(ignoring error checking):
DIR *dir = opendir("/foo/bar/baz");
ioctl(dirfd(dir), EXT4_IOC_DEGRADED_READDIR, 1);
...
should be quite easy. It would be a very ext3/4 specific thing,
though.
It would be more work to get something in as a process personality
flag, mostly due to the politics of assiging a bit out of the
bitfield.
