Oh!  Sorry, I lost the thread and forgot to reply. :(

For debug kernels, I think it's definitely valuable to us to enhance the
corruption reports by printing out the expected value(s) and the
observed value so that we can pinpoint quickly exactly which test failed
and why.

I'm not as strongly convinced that it's worth it to put all those
strings into release builds and have to carry those around in memory.
Then again, on my rc7 dev build the strings only contribute about 120K
to a 1.4MB .ko file so it might not be a big deal.

I also think it would be useful for xfs_verifier_error to print more of
the corrupted buffer.
