On zoned filesystems, btrfs uses per-fs zoned_meta_io_lock to serialize the metadata write IOs. Even with this serialization, write bios sent from btree_write_cache_pages can be reordered by async checksum workers as these workers are per CPU and not per zone. To preserve write bio ordering, we disable async metadata checksum on a zoned filesystem. This does not result in lower performance with HDDs as a single CPU core is fast enough to do checksum for a single zone write stream with the maximum possible bandwidth of the device. If multiple zones are being written simultaneously, HDD seek overhead lowers the achievable maximum bandwidth, resulting again in a per zone checksum serialization not affecting the performance.

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.
