btrfstune -s <dev> prints "Seeding flag is currently [un]set", based on
whether or not BTRFS_SUPER_FLAG_SEEDING is enabled for the given device.

btrfs inspect-internal dump-super already supports showing seeding, why
do we need btrfstune support for that as well? Also the way you've
phrased is a bit misleading, since checking the superflag doesn't mean
seeding for a particular _device_ is enabled but that the filesystem
itself is set as seeding.

Ah, I wasn't aware of that. IMO the logical place to look is next to
where the user enables seeding (btrfstune -S1).

Not quite sure I follow. For a multi-dev FS (one seeding), I see:

rapido1:/# btrfstune -s /dev/zram0
Seeding flag is currently unset
rapido1:/# btrfstune -S 1 /dev/zram0
rapido1:/# btrfstune -s /dev/zram0
Seeding flag is currently set
rapido1:/# mount /dev/zram0 /mnt/test/
mount: /dev/zram0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
...
rapido1:/# btrfs device add -f /dev/zram1 /mnt/test/
[   77.805374] BTRFS info (device zram0): disk added /dev/zram1
rapido1:/# umount /mnt/test/
rapido1:/# btrfstune -s /dev/zram1
Seeding flag is currently unset
rapido1:/# btrfstune -s /dev/zram0
Seeding flag is currently set

I agree btrfstune should have ability to read the parameter. But none of 
the btrsftune parameter [1] which it sets, aren't readable using 
btrfstune. So can we first design how are going to do it for rest of 
the parameters in btrfstune then later this patch can just fix for seed.

[1]
usage: btrfstune [options] device
	-S value	positive value will enable seeding, zero to disable, negative 
is not allowed
	-r 		enable extended inode refs
	-x 		enable skinny metadata extent refs
	-n 		enable no-holes feature (more efficient sparse file representation)
	-f 		force to do dangerous operation, make sure that you are aware of 
the dangers
	-u 		change fsid, use a random one
	-U UUID		change fsid to UUID


One suggestion
    btrfstune read -<S|r|x|n|u> <dev>

the seeding flag is a feature of the filesystem not any particular
device in it. It's set per-superblock, the superblock on every device is
(or should be) identical to the superblock on any other device.

Right, i think this is a side effect rather than a deliberate behavior.
What I mean by this is if you have a raid0 filesystem and you set it to
seed then the flag will be reflected on both devices, but not because
the code said "mark device 1 and device 2 as seed devices" but because
the logic goes "mark this superblock as being a seed and write it to all
devices".

So when you actually add the new device to an existing filesystem which
is seed what btrfs does is initialize a new filesystem on the newly
added device. For reference you can check the code around
btrfs_init_new_device and btrfs_prepare_sprout. IMO seed has really been
hacked on "just because" and is lacking coherent design, I'd prefer it
didn't proliferate and rely on what we have currently.

That's unfortunate to hear. Seed devices are IMO a very cool feature for
transactional OS updates and live installers.

Can you elaborate please?

It has great potential, especially in the golden image kind of 
environment, current missing feature is ability to propagate and apply 
the golden image diff. Also it can be a choice of feature for the OS 
installation. I see a lot of potential in it.
