Hi,

btrfs-progs version 7.3 have been released (version 7.2 was skipped).

I've received several security reports, fixes will be in a future release. The
codebase is old and if you run AI scanners you will find bugs, probably the
same ones. The security policy and threat model is WIP.

Changelog:

* zoned mode: open host-managed devices with direct io, page cache cannot be
  used for synchronization due to ordering
* convert: set creation and change time of the root subvolume
* mkfs:
  * set creation and change time of the created subvolumes
  * make -O mixed work same as --mixed, so it does not create split block
    groups by mistake
  * for reproducible builds, honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, SEED and for --rootdir
    order the files deterministically
* corrupt-block: allow inode and dir item corruption to use option --value
* check:
  * detect file extents for wrong inode types
  * on zoned filesystem, detect leaked active zones
* restore: handle inline extents larger than 4KiB, e.g. created on systems with
  64KiB pages
* build:
  * minimal version of util-linux is 2.31
* scrub limit: set to the original limit only after all devices finish
* other
  * new and updated tests
  * documentation updates
