When relocating a block group the freed up space is not discarded in one big block, but each extent is discarded on its own with -odisard=sync. For a zoned filesystem we need to discard the whole block group at once, so btrfs_discard_extent() will translate the discard into a REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET operation, which then resets the device's zone. Failure to reset the zone is not fatal error.

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.
