I wonder an unrelated question, why do we need this 'success' variable? Now we
keep on replaying later log blocks even if some bad things happened(read I/O
error or checksum error) instead of just quit, is it to replay as many log
blocks as possible, and then to reduce the data lose and also reduce e2fsck's
workload?

Thanks,
Yi.
