Since we have no write pointer in conventional zones, we cannot determine the allocation offset from it. Instead, we set the allocation offset after the highest addressed extent. This is done by reading the extent tree in btrfs_load_block_group_zone_info(). However, this function is called from btrfs_read_block_groups(), so the read lock for the tree node could be recursively taken. To avoid this unsafe locking scenario, release the path before reading the extent tree to get the allocation offset.

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.
