When multiple processes write data to the same block group on a
compressed zoned filesystem, the underlying device could report I/O
errors and data corruption is possible.
This happens because on a zoned file system, compressed data writes
where sent to the device via a REQ_OP_WRITE instead of a
REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND operation. But with REQ_OP_WRITE and parallel
submission it cannot be guaranteed that the data is always submitted
aligned to the underlying zone's write pointer.
The change to using REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND instead of REQ_OP_WRITE on a
zoned filesystem is non intrusive on a regular file system or when
submitting to a conventional zone on a zoned filesystem, as it is
guarded by btrfs_use_zone_append.

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.
