btrfs-progs-5.17 (2022-04-26)

• check:
  • repair wrong num_devices in superblock
  • recognize overly long xattr names
  • fix wrong total bytes check for seed device
• auto-repair on read on RAID56
• property set: unify handling of empty value to mean default, changed meaning for property 'compression' to allow reset to default and to set NOCOMPRESS, since kernel 5.14
• fixes:
  • dump-tree: print fs-verity items
  • fix location of system chunk on zoned filesystem
  • do not allow setting seeding flag on a filesystem with dirty log
  • mkfs and subpage support: use sectorsize as nodesize fallback for mixed profiles
• preparatory work for extent tree v2, global roots
• experimental feature (unstable interface, not built by default, do not use for production):
  • btrfstune: option --csum to switch checksum algorithm
• other:
  • cleanups, refactoring
  • update documentation build, remove asciidocs leftovers
  • update fssum to consider xattrs
  • add fsstress
