In btrfs_make_block_group(), we activate the allocated block group,
expecting that the block group is soon used for allocation. However, the
chunk allocation from flush_space() context broke the assumption. There
can be a large time gap between the chunk allocation time and the extent
allocation time from the chunk.
Activating the empty block groups pre-allocated from flush_space()
context can exhaust the active zone counter of a device. Once we use all
the active zone counts for empty pre-allocated block groups, we cannot
activate new block group for the other things: metadata, tree-log, or
data relocation block group. That failure results in a fake -ENOSPC.
This patch introduces CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE_FOR_EXTENT to distinguish the
chunk allocation from find_free_extent(). Now, the new block group is
activated only in that context.

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.
