David Sterba 009b2056cb btrfs: defrag: add flag to force no-compression
Currently the defrag ioctl cannot rewrite the extents without
compression. Add a new flag for that, as setting compression to 0 (or
"no compression") means to do no changes to compression so take what is
the current default, like mount options or properties.

The defrag setting overrides mount or properties. The compression
BTRFS_DEFRAG_DONT_COMPRESS is only used for in-memory operations and
does not need to have a fixed value.

Mount with zstd:9, copy test file from /usr/bin/ (about 260KB):

  $ mount -o compress=zstd:9 /dev/vda /mnt
  $ filefrag -vsb testfile
  filefrag: -b needs a blocksize option, assuming 1024-byte blocks.
  Filesystem type is: 9123683e
  File size of testfile is 297704 (292 blocks of 1024 bytes)

  testfile: 3 extents found

  $ compsize testfile

Defrag to uncompressed:

  $ btrfs fi defrag --nocomp testfile
  $ filefrag -vsb testfile
  filefrag: -b needs a blocksize option, assuming 1024-byte blocks.
  Filesystem type is: 9123683e

  $ compsize testfile

Compress again with LZO:

  $ btrfs fi defrag -clzo testfile
  $ filefrag -vsb testfile
  filefrag: -b needs a blocksize option, assuming 1024-byte blocks.
  Filesystem type is: 9123683e

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
