Hmm, my assumption is based on the comments in btrfs_defrag_leaves(),

Quoting,
"there's recursion here right now in the tree locking, we can't defrag the
extent root without deadlock."

But I just made a quick test, defragment on extent root seems to be good.

I need to dig this more, thanks for pointing out that, Dave.
