We currently advance the meta_write_pointer in btrfs_check_meta_write_pointer(). That makes it necessary to revert it when locking the buffer failed. Instead, we can advance it just before sending the buffer. Also, this is necessary for the following commit. In the commit, it needs to release the zoned_meta_io_lock to allow IOs to come in and wait for them to fill the currently active block group. If we advance the meta_write_pointer before locking the extent buffer, the following extent buffer can pass the meta_write_pointer check, resulting in an unaligned write failure. Advancing the pointer is still thread-safe as the extent buffer is locked.

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.
