Series btrfs: remove the inode_need_compress() call in | expand

Commit Message

Qu Wenruo Aug. 4, 2020, 7:15 a.m. UTC
The extra inode_need_compress() has already caused problems for pages
releasing.
We had hot fix to solve that problem, now it's time to fix it from the
root.

This patch will remove the extra inode_need_compress() to address the
problem.

This would lead to the following behavior change:
- Worse bad compression ratio detection
  Now if we had one async_chunk hitting bad compression ratio, other
  async_chunk will still try to compress.

  Only newer delalloc range will follow the new INODE_NO_COMPRESS flag
  then.
  Although one could argue that, if only part of the file content has
  bad compression, we should still try on other ranges.

Despite the behavior change, the code cleanup isn't that elegant either,
as kcalloc() can still fail for @pages, thus from cont: tag, we still
need to check @pages manually, thus the cleanup doesn't bring much
benefit, just one indent removal and comments reformatting.
