In that case, you won't go into compress_file_range() at all.

As the only caller of compress_file_range() is async_cow_start(), which
get queued in cow_file_range_async().

And cow_file_range_async() traces back to run_delalloc_range().
Here we determine (basically) where some dirty range goes.

The modification in inode_need_compress() mostly affects the decision in
run_delalloc_range(), so we won't go cow_file_range_async(), thus we
won't hit the problem you described.

Not exactly.
Force-compress should less us bypass bad compression ratio, so it should
be at least before ratio check.
