Relocation in a zoned filesystem can fail with a transaction abort with
error -22 (EINVAL). This happens because the relocation code assumes that
the extents we relocated the data to have the same size the source extents
had and ensures this by preallocating the extents.
But in a zoned filesystem we currently can't preallocate the extents as
this would break the sequential write required rule. Therefore it can
happen that the writeback process kicks in while we're still adding pages
to a delalloc range and starts writing out dirty pages.
This then creates destination extents that are smaller than the source
extents, triggering the following safety check in get_new_location():
1034 if (num_bytes != btrfs_file_extent_disk_num_bytes(leaf, fi)) {
1035 ret = -EINVAL;
1036 goto out;
1037 }
Temporarily create a dedicated block group for the relocation process, so
no non-relocation data writes can interfere with the relocation writes.
This is needed that we can switch the relocation process on a zoned
filesystem from the REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND writing we use for data to a scheme
like in a non-zoned filesystem using REQ_OP_WRITE and preallocation.

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.
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.
