[PATCH 5.13 049/800] btrfs: compression: dont try to compress if we dont have enough pages

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx>

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.
