Yeah a block group can be a kind of "super extent". I think the
EXTENT_DATA maxes out at 128M but they are often contiguous, for
example

    item 308 key (5741459 EXTENT_DATA 0) itemoff 39032 itemsize 53
        generation 241638 type 1 (regular)
        extent data disk byte 193851400192 nr 134217728
        extent data offset 0 nr 134217728 ram 134217728
        extent compression 0 (none)
    item 309 key (5741459 EXTENT_DATA 134217728) itemoff 38979 itemsize 53
        generation 241638 type 1 (regular)
        extent data disk byte 193985617920 nr 134217728
        extent data offset 0 nr 134217728 ram 134217728
        extent compression 0 (none)
    item 310 key (5741459 EXTENT_DATA 268435456) itemoff 38926 itemsize 53
        generation 241638 type 1 (regular)
        extent data disk byte 194119835648 nr 134217728
        extent data offset 0 nr 134217728 ram 134217728
        extent compression 0 (none)

Where FIEMAP has a different view (via filefrag -v)

 ext:     logical_offset:        physical_offset: length:   expected: flags:

Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-31_Beta-1.1.iso: 4 extents found

Those extents are all bigger than 128M. But they're each made up of
contiguous EXTENT_DATA items.

Also, the EXTENT_DATA size goes to a 128K max for any compressed
files, so you get an explosive number of EXTENT_DATA items on
compressed file systems, and thus metadata to rewrite.

I wonder if instead of a rewrite of defragmenting, if there could be
improvements to the allocator to write bigger extents. I guess the
problem really comes from file appends? Smarter often means slower but
perhaps it could be a variation on autodefrag?
