There was a discussion about possibility of using
superblock backup for creating images with e2image.

https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg30583.html

Now our customer faced with situation then it would be
useful to have image file from partition with broken
superblock.

Here is set of patches that adds this functionality.

This is 6th version of the patch set.

* If last superblock backup reading is finished with error
of accesing outside the disk, return previous error code.
Some minor code style and comments issues are fixed.

Artem Blagodarenko (4):
  ext2fs: opening filesystem code refactoring
  e2image: add -b and -B options to use supperblock backup
  tests: add test for e2image -b option
  ext2fs: automaticlly open backup superblocks
