The reclaiming process only starts after the filesystem volumes are
allocated to a certain level (75% by default). Thus, the list of
reclaiming target block groups can build up so huge at the time the
reclaim process kicks in. On a test run, there were over 1000 BGs in the
reclaim list.
As the reclaim involves rewriting the data, it takes really long time to
reclaim the BGs. While the reclaim is running, btrfs_delete_unused_bgs()
won't proceed because the reclaim side is holding
fs_info->reclaim_bgs_lock. As a result, we will have a large number of
unused BGs kept in the unused list. On my test run, I got 1057 unused BGs.
Since deleting a block group is relatively easy and fast work, we can call
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() while it reclaims BGs, to avoid building up
unused BGs.

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.
