I vote for a more fine grained control over this feature, ie.  via
'btrfs fi defrag', off by default (current behaviour). The defrag ioctl
is the only place that actually calls set_extent_defrag, so this will
not affect normal operation and is fully in hands of the user who runs
defrag.

Do you have a usecase for setting it through the mount option?

thanks,
david
