"btrfs check" has the option "--init-csum-tree"...

Anyway, it should be exist an option to recalculate the checksum for a single file. BTRFS is good to highlight that a file is corrupted, but it should have the possibility to read it anyway: in some case is better to have a corrupted file (knowing that it is corrupted) that loosing all the file.
