In zlib_compress_pages(), if the last looped call to zlib_deflate ends
between 1 and 5 bytes short of a page boundary, the final call with
Z_FINISH is unable to write the final 6 bytes of the zlib stream and bails
out. This causes compress_file_range() in inode.c to distrust the
compressor and flag ths inode nocompress, with the end result that the
rest of a potentially highly-compressible file is stored in expanded form.
You can demonstrate this with the following script, setting MOUNTPOINT to
an otherwise-unused btrfs mount with compress=zlib:
MOUNTPOINT=/mnt
sync; df $MOUNTPOINT
{ head -c 6630 /usr/src/linux/Documentation/BUG-HUNTING;
cat /dev/zero; } | head -c 1310720 > $MOUNTPOINT/test
sync; df $MOUNTPOINT
rm -f $MOUNTPOINT/test
The selection of 6630 bytes from BUG-HUNTING plus nulls provides for a
first 128KiB chunk that compresses to just over 4 KiB, and the other nine
chunks compress easily within a single page each, so this should compress
to 11 pages or 44 KiB; instead it uses significantly more, depending on
how many threads were able to compress chunks before nocompress was set.
The following patch fixes this by moving the Z_FINISH calls to inside the
page read/write loop, allowing it to call as many times as needed.
