On the zoned mode, once used and freed region is still not reusable after the freeing. The underlying zone needs to be reset before reusing. Btrfs resets a zone when it removes a block group, and then new block group is allocated on the zones to reuse the zones. But, it is sometime too late to catch up with a write side. This commit introduces a new space-info reclaim method ZONE_RESET. That will pick a block group from the unused list and reset its zone to reuse the zone_unusable space. It is faster than removing the block group and re-creating a new block group on the same zones. For the first implementation, the ZONE_RESET is only applied to a block group whose region is fully zone_unusable. Reclaiming partial zone_unusable block group could be implemented later.

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 reStructuredText 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.
