Bug Description
The current version of btrfs-progs in Ubuntu 16.04 produces false positives when checking a healthy btrfs filesystem:
user@hostname:~$ sudo btrfsck /dev/sdb
Checking filesystem on /dev/sdb
UUID: ...
checking extents
bad metadata [1054547705856, 1054547722240) crossing stripe boundary
bad metadata [1054797594624, 1054797611008) crossing stripe boundary
bad metadata [1054863392768, 1054863409152) crossing stripe boundary
[...]
This is a known bug that has been fixed upstream (v4.5.2):

I hope this fix can be backported to prevent unnecessary and possibly harmful filesystem repair attempts.
