[PATCH v8 15/15] f2fs: make compressed files compatible with large folio
From: Nanzhe Zhao
Date: Wed Oct 28 2026 - 11:53:26 EST
From: Nanzhe Zhao <zhaonanzhe@xxxxxxxxxx>
The compression flag is the hint indicates that the inode can be
compressed, when the inode is using large folio, we expected it keeps
using the large folio read/write paths and its data stays uncompressed
on disk until the inode is evicted and re-read
Let f2fs_write_begin() skip the compression overwrite preparation for
such inodes and remove the compressed-file gate in
f2fs_read_data_large_folio() so the data is simply read/written as
regular blocks.
For the same reason, reject F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS_FILE with -EOPNOTSUPP
once the inode mapping is switched to large folios.

+- Compression and large folios are not effective at the same time on a file:
+ a compressed inode does not use large folios, while an inode which is
+ using large folios keeps its data uncompressed on disk. If the compression
+ flag is set on an inode that is already using large folios, the flag works
+ as a hint until the inode is evicted: the inode keeps using the large folio
+ read/write paths, f2fs_write_begin() skips the compression overwrite
+ preparation, and ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMPRESS_FILE) fails with -EOPNOTSUPP.
+ Once the inode is evicted and read back, it uses order-0 folios again and
+ compression is applied as usual.
