Bug#829205: RFS: btrfs-progs/4.5.3-0.1

[Nicholas D Steeves <nsteeves@gmail.com>]

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for this update of "btrfs-progs".  I have
chosen to update to v4.5.3, because this version does not trigger a
bug when combined with linux-4.6.x as discussed in the following
email:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56664.html

If the two patches discussed in this email are merged into linux-4.7,
I plan to package btrfs-progs-4.6.1 or v4.7 when linux-4.7 is uploaded
to unstable:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg56659.html

Alternatively, this bug might be fixed in btrfs-progs-4.7.  For now,
lets use 4.5.3!  Here is the upstream changelog post-4.5.2:

  * ioctl: fix unaligned access in buffer from TREE_SEARCH; might cause SIGBUS
    on architectures that do not support unaligned access and do not perform
    any fixups
  * improved validation checks of superblock and chunk-related structures
  * subvolume sync: fix handling of -s option
  * balance: adjust timing of safety delay countdown with --full-balance
  * rescue super-recover: fix reversed condition check
  * check: fix bytes_used accounting
  * documentation updates: mount options, scrub, send, receive, select-super,
    check, mkfs
  * testing: new fuzzed images, for superblock and chunks
