[ Upstream commit02444f2ac2] Writing sequentially to a huge file on btrfs on a SMR HDD revealed a decline of the performance (220 MiB/s to 30 MiB/s after 500 minutes). The performance goes down because of increased latency of the extent allocation, which is induced by a traversing of a lot of full block groups. So, this patch optimizes the ffe_ctl->hint_byte by choosing a block group with sufficient size from the active block group list, which does not contain full block groups. After applying the patch, the performance is maintained well.

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.
