btrfs-progs: docs: clarify btrfs-send checksum
The way the CRC32C checksum used for btrfs-send differs from the way it's used elsewhere in btrfs. Without making the distinction, it's easy to make the flawed assumption that CRC32C always refers to the same, and end up with code that produces the wrong checksums. This small note should guide the reader to the right function. The best notes on the protocol I found are here: https://archive.kernel.org/oldwiki/btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_notes_on_Send/Receive.html The crc32c might be used in two meanings and this could be confusing when implementing the send stream protocol. Rust code describing the algorithm for the crc crate that worked for me: pub const CRC_32_BTRFS_SEND: crc::Algorithm<u32> = crc::Algorithm { width: 32, poly: 0x1edc6f41, init: 0, refin: true, refout: true, xorout: 0, check: 0xe3069283, residue: 0xb798b438 }; (it's a slight variation on the one used in ISCSI) Note: Documentation/dev/dev-send-stream.rst briefly mentions that Pull-request: #794 Author: rhn <gihu.rhn@porcupinefactory.org> [ rephrase changelog and copy text from pull request and add link to developer documentation of the send stream ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
