- * or resizing a device.
+ * Allocation of system chunks does not happen through this function. A task that
+ * needs to update the chunk btree (the only btree that uses system chunks), must
+ * preallocate chunk space by calling either check_system_chunk() or
+ * btrfs_reserve_chunk_metadata() - the former is used when allocating a data or
+ * metadata chunk or when removing a chunk, while the later is used before doing

+ * removing and resizing a device as well as relocation of a system chunk.
+ * See the comment below for more details.
