Subject: [PATCH 0/2] btrfs: zoned: kick reclaim earlier on fast zoned
 devices

We had a report from the field where filling a zoned drive with one file
60% of the drive's capacity and then overwriting this file results in
ENOSPC.

If said drive is fast and small enough, the problem can be easily
triggered, as both reclaim of dirty block-groups and deletion of unused
block-groups only happen at transaction commit time. But if the whole test
is faster than we're doing transaction commits we're unnecessarily running
out of usable space on a zoned drive.

This can easily be reproduced by the following fio snippet:
fio --name=foo --filename=$TEST/foo --size=$60_PERCENT_OF_DRIVE --rw=write\
	   --loops=2

A fstests testcase for this issue will be sent as well.
