[PATCH v3 0/3] btrfs: zoned: automatic BG reclaim

[Johannes Thumshirn <johannes.thumshirn@wdc.com>]

When a file gets deleted on a zoned file system, the space freed is not
returned back into the block group's free space, but is migrated to
zone_unusable.

As this zone_unusable space is behind the current write pointer it is not
possible to use it for new allocations. In the current implementation a
zone is reset once all of the block group's space is accounted as zone
unusable.

This behaviour can lead to premature ENOSPC errors on a busy file system.

Instead of only reclaiming the zone once it is completely unusable,
kick off a reclaim job once the amount of unusable bytes exceeds a user
configurable threshold between 51% and 100%. It can be set per mounted
filesystem via the sysfs tunable bg_reclaim_threshold which is set to 75%
per default.

Similar to reclaiming unused block groups, these dirty block groups are
added to a to_reclaim list and then on a transaction commit, the reclaim
process is triggered but after we deleted unused block groups, which will
free space for the relocation process.

Changes to v2:
- Fix locking in multiple ways (Filipe)
- Offload reclaim into workqueue (Josef)
- Add patch discarding/zone-resetting after successfull relocation (Anand)

Changes to v1:
- Document sysfs parameter (David)
- Add info print for reclaim (Josef)
- Rename delete_unused_bgs_mutex to reclaim_bgs_lock (Filipe)
- Remove list_is_singular check (Filipe)
- Document of space_info->groups_sem use (Filipe)

Johannes Thumshirn (3):
  btrfs: discard relocated block groups
  btrfs: rename delete_unused_bgs_mutex
  btrfs: zoned: automatically reclaim zones
