As verify_level_key() is checked after verify_parent_transid(), i.e.
if (verify_parent_transid())
ret = -EIO;
else if (verify_level_key())
ret = -EUCLEAN;
if parent_transid is 0, verify_parent_transid() skips verifying
parent_transid and considers eb as valid, and if verify_level_key()
reports something wrong, we're not going to know if it's caused by
corrupted metadata or non-checkecd eb (e.g. stale eb).
The stale eb can be from an outdated raid1 mirror after a degraded
mount, see eg "btrfs: fix reading stale metadata blocks after degraded
raid1 mounts" (02a3307aa9) for more details.
@parent_transid is able to tell whether the eb's generation has been
verified by the caller.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
