Tree manipulating operations like merging nodes often release
once-allocated tree nodes. Btrfs cleans such nodes so that pages in the
node are not uselessly written out. On ZONED drives, however, such
optimization blocks the following IOs as the cancellation of the write
out of the freed blocks breaks the sequential write sequence expected by
the device.
Check if next dirty extent buffer is continuous to a previously written
one. If not, it redirty extent buffers between the previous one and the
next one, so that all dirty buffers are written sequentially.
