Currently, the BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS will prevent any compression on a

reported on IRC, this will also prevent compression when requested by
defrag (btrfs fi defrag -c file).
There is a hidden workaround... even with the existing
inode_need_compression().
BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS gets reset [1] so ..
(btrfs prop set /btrfs/sv1 compression "")
btrfs prop set /btrfs/sv1 compression lzo
A normal defrag or with -c will try to compress again.
----------------
static int prop_compression_apply(struct inode *inode,
const char *value,
size_t len)
{
int type;
if (len == 0) {
BTRFS_I(inode)->flags |= BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS;
BTRFS_I(inode)->flags &= ~BTRFS_INODE_COMPRESS;
BTRFS_I(inode)->force_compress = BTRFS_COMPRESS_NONE;
return 0;
}
if (!strncmp("lzo", value, len))
type = BTRFS_COMPRESS_LZO;
else if (!strncmp("zlib", value, len))
type = BTRFS_COMPRESS_ZLIB;
else
return -EINVAL;
BTRFS_I(inode)->flags &= ~BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS; <---- [1]
BTRFS_I(inode)->flags |= BTRFS_INODE_COMPRESS;
BTRFS_I(inode)->force_compress = type;
return 0;
}
---------------
So what's missing is btrfs prop set /btrfs/sv1 compress-force
and rest cleanup as discussed in the other email.
Thanks, Anand
