Adds write-only trigger to force new chunk allocation for a given block
group type. It is at
/sys/fs/btrfs/<uuid>/allocation/<type>/force_chunk_alloc
Note: this is now only for debugging and testing and is enabled with the
CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG configuration option. The transaction is
started from sysfs context and can be problematic in some cases.

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.
