    btrfs: property: Set incompat flag if lzo/zstd compression is set · 1a63c198
    Misono Tomohiro authored
    Incompat flag of LZO/ZSTD compression should be set at:
    
     1. mount time (-o compress/compress-force)
     2. when defrag is done
     3. when property is set
    
    Currently 3. is missing and this commit adds this.
    
    This could lead to a filesystem that uses ZSTD but is not marked as
    such. If a kernel without a ZSTD support encounteres a ZSTD compressed
    extent, it will handle that but this could be confusing to the user.
    
    Typically the filesystem is mounted with the ZSTD option, but the
    discrepancy can arise when a filesystem is never mounted with ZSTD and
    then the property on some file is set (and some new extents are
    written). A simple mount with -o compress=zstd will fix that up on an
    unpatched kernel.
    
    Same goes for LZO, but this has been around for a very long time
    (2.6.37) so it's unlikely that a pre-LZO kernel would be used.
