It is observed that when in user compression mode

even though the file is not compressed, the file is still forced to use
buffer io, which makes the AndroBench sequential read and write drop
significantly. In fact, when the file is not compressed, we don't need
to force it to buffer io.

Should check dirty page as well? i_compr_blocks may increase after
data writeback.

IIUC, in COMPR_MODE_USER mode, i_compr_blocks will only be updated when
FI_ENABLE_COMPRESS is enabled.

If FI_ENABLE_COMPRESS is not enabled, i_compr_blocks will never be
updated after data writeback.

So there is no need to additionally judge whether there is a dirty page?

Oh, user mode, that's correct.

If we allow dio/aio on compress file, it needs to consider race case in
between aio and ioc_compress_file.


The inode_lock is already held in f2fs_file_write_iter and f2fs_ioc_compress_file, I guess this is enough?

What else?
