Add Tao Ma, since he is the original inline data author, and it appears that Taobao
is using this feature so are probably interested in fixing any corruption.

Wolfgang, it would be useful if you could figure out what type of block the reported
blocknr=1008028301 is.  You can use "debugfs -c -R 'icheck 1008028301' /dev/dm-25".
I'd suspect, given that this is an inline data problem, that this is an inode table
block, but it is good to be sure.  It would also be useful to see if this inode
number correlates to one of the inodes that have bad checksums.

Cheers, Andreas
