    btrfs: deprecate integrity checker feature · 16c3a476
    Qu Wenruo authored
    The integrity checker feature needs to be enabled at compile time
    (BTRFS_FS_CHECK_INTEGRITY) and then enabled by mount options check_int*.
    
    Although it provides some unique features which can not be provided by
    any other sanity checks like tree-checker, it does not only have high
    CPU and memory overhead, but is also a maintenance burden.
    
    For example, it's the only caller of btrfs_map_block() with
    @need_raid_map = 0.
    
    Considering most btrfs developers are not even testing this feature, I'm
    here to propose deprecation of this feature.
    
    For now only warning messages will be printed, the feature itself would
    still work.
    
    Removal time has been set to 6.7 release.
