cow_file_range() works in an all-or-nothing way: if it fails to allocate an
extent for a part of the given region, it gives up all the region including
the successfully allocated parts. On cow_file_range(), run_delalloc_zoned()
writes data for the region only when it successfully allocate all the
region.
This all-or-nothing allocation and write-out are problematic when available
space in all the block groups are get tight with the active zone
restriction. btrfs_reserve_extent() try hard to utilize the left space in
the active block groups and gives up finally and fails with
-ENOSPC. However, if we send IOs for the successfully allocated region, we
can finish a zone and can continue on the rest of the allocation on a newly
allocated block group.
This patch implements the partial write-out for run_delalloc_zoned(). With
this patch applied, cow_file_range() returns -EAGAIN to tell the caller to
do something to progress the further allocation, and tells the successfully
allocated region with done_offset. Furthermore, the zoned extent allocator
returns -EAGAIN to tell cow_file_range() going back to the caller side.
Actually, we still need to wait for an IO to complete to continue the
allocation. The next patch implements that part.

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.
