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.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
