There's a reserved space on each device of size 1MiB that can be used by bootloaders or to avoid accidental overwrite. Use a symbolic constant with the explaining comment instead of hard coding the value and multiple comments. Note: since btrfs-progs v4.1, mkfs.btrfs will reserve the first 1MiB for the primary super block (at offset 64KiB), until then the range could have been used by mistake. Kernel has been always respecting the 1MiB range for writes.

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.
