[PATCH 1/2] Btrfs: don't compress for a small write

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



To compress a small write(<=blocksize) dosen't save us
disk space at all, skip it can save us some compression time.

This patch can also fix wrong setting nocompression flag for
inode, say a case when @total_in is 4096, and then we get
@total_compressed 52,because we do aligment to page cache size
firstly, and then we get into conclusion @total_in=@total_compressed
thus we will clear this inode's compression flag.

An exception comes from inserting inline extent failure but we
still have @total_compressed < @total_in,so we will still reset
inode's flag, this is ok, because we don't have good compression
effect.
