The compression level is meaningless for lzo, but before commit
3f093ccb95f30 ("btrfs: harden parsing of compression mount options"),
it was silently ignored if passed.
Since LZO doesn't support compression level, why providing a level parameter
in the first place?
Interpreting "no level" as "level is always one" doesn't seem that
unreasonable to me, especially since it has worked forever.
No means no, period.
I think it's time for those users to properly update their mount options.
It's a user visable regression, and fixing it has zero possible
downside. I think you should take my patch :)
I do not want to encourage such usage.
Sanity overrides "regression". If it shouldn't work in the first place,
it's not a regression.
Thanks,
Calvin
After that commit, passing a level with lzo fails to mount:
BTRFS error: unrecognized compression value lzo:1
Restore the old behavior, in case any users were relying on it.
