I always want more fuzz for btrfs, so overall this is pretty good.

But there are some comments related to free space cache part.

Despite the details, I'm wondering would it be possible for your fuzzing 
tool to do a better job at user space? Other than relying on loosen 
checks from kernel?

For example, implement a (mostly) read-only tool to do the following 
workload:

- Open the fs
  Including understand the checksum algo, how to re-generate the csum.

- Read out the used space bitmap
  In btrfs case, it's going to read the extent tree, process the
  backrefs items.

- Choose the victim sectors and corrupt them
  Obviously, vitims should be choosen from above used space bitmap.

- Re-calculate the checksum for above corrupted sectors
  For btrfs, if it's a corrupted metadata, re-calculate the checksum.

By this, we can avoid such change to kernel, and still get a much better 
coverage.

If you need some help on such user space tool, I'm pretty happy to 
provide help.

I believe this is the main thing fuzzing would take advantage of.

It would be much better if this is the only override...

I'm already seeing this to cause problems, especially for btrfs.

Btrfs has a very strong dependency on free space tracing, as all of our 
metadata (and data by default) relies on COW to keep the fs consistent.

I tried a lot of different methods in the past to make sure we won't 
write into previously used space, but it's causing a lot of performance 
impact.

Unlike tree-checker, we can not easily got a centerlized space to handle 
all the free space cross-check thing (thus it's only verified by things 
like btrfs-check).

Furthermore, even if you skip this override, with latest default 
free-space-tree feature, free space info is stored in regular btrfs 
metadata (tree blocks), with regular metadata checksum protection.

Thus I'm pretty sure we will have tons of reports on this, and 
unfortunately we can only go whac-a-mole way for it.

This skips data csum check, I don't know how valueable it is, but this 
should be harmless mostly.

If we got reports related to this, it would be a nice surprise.

Same as data csum verification overide.
Not necessary/useful but good to have.

This is much less valueable, since it's only affecting scrub, and scrub 
itself is already very little checking the content of metadata.
