[PATCH RFC 0/3] btrfs: zoned: reclaim block-groups more aggressively

[Johannes Thumshirn]

Recently we had reports internally that zoned btrfs can get to -ENOSPC
prematurely, because we're running out of allocatable zones on the drive.

But we would have enough space left, if we would reclaim more aggressively.

The following fio-job is an example how to trigger the failure.

[test]
filename=$SCRATCH_MNT
readwrite=write
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
loops=2
filesize=$60_PERCENT_OF_DRIVE
bs=128k

The reason this is still an RFC is, it is enough to have DATA block groups
free but not METADATA block groups. Of cause the same principle could be
applied to METADATA block groups as well, but I'd prefer to have a
discussion on the general direction first.
