Hello,

So my question is, why does scrub show a high (i.e. non-zero) value for
        no_csum? I never enabled nodatasum or a similar option.

Did you enable nodatacow option? if  nodatacow option is enabled,
data checksums will be also disabled at the same time.

So i have found why we have such strange things from debugging, you can have a try as the
following steps:

# mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda9
# mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
# btrfs scrub start -BR /mnt

# btrfs-debug-tree /dev/sda9

By debuging tree, we found there is a EXTENT_ITEM in extent tree for newly
mkfs filesystem which we have written anything yet.

 item 2 key (12582912 EXTENT_ITEM 65536) itemoff 16182 itemsize 53
                extent refs 1 gen 5 flags 1
                extent data backref root 1 objectid 256 offset 0 count 1
item 3 key (12582912 BLOCK_GROUP_ITEM 8388608) itemoff 16158 itemsize 24

At the same time, Let's see Csum tree debug output:

checksum tree key (CSUM_TREE ROOT_ITEM 0)
leaf 29425664 items 0 free space 16283 generation 4 owner 7
fs uuid 02dd3326-959f-4602-9baa-aa9ed99ac2e5

So there is not corresponding checksum item for that DATA extent item..
This can explain why scrub output no_sum count!

For reasons, It may be reserved data space without checksum for other purpose! So if this is true, i don't think this is harm for common users unless it is designed
unexpectedly!

Thanks,
Wang
