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% by 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.

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.
