The current btrfs zoned device support is a little cumbersome in the data I/O path as it requires the callers to not issue I/O larger than the supported ZONE_APPEND size of the underlying device. This leads to a lot of extra accounting. Instead change btrfs_submit_bio so that it can take write bios of arbitrary size and form from the upper layers, and just split them internally to the ZONE_APPEND queue limits. Then remove all the upper layer warts catering to limited write sized on zoned devices, including the extra refcount in the compressed_bio.

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.
