A new helper, defrag_one_range(), is introduced to defrag one range. This function will mostly prepare the needed pages and extent status for defrag_one_locked_target(). As we can only have a consistent view of extent map with page and extent bits locked, we need to re-check the range passed in to get a real target list for defrag_one_locked_target(). Since defrag_collect_targets() will call defrag_lookup_extent() and lock extent range, we also need to teach those two functions to skip extent lock. Thus new parameter, @locked, is introduced to skip extent lock if the caller has already locked the range.

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.
