From 6b00b1717f588089ea6f18d41cf84f9156517143 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Sterba Date: Mon, 14 Jun 2021 12:45:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: compression: don't try to compress if we don't have enough pages commit f2165627319ffd33a6217275e5690b1ab5c45763 upstream. The early check if we should attempt compression does not take into account the number of input pages. It can happen that there's only one page, eg. a tail page after some ranges of the BTRFS_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED have been processed, or an isolated page that won't be converted to an inline extent. The single page would be compressed but a later check would drop it again because the result size must be at least one block shorter than the input. That can never work with just one page.
