Chung-Chiang Cheng 0e852ab897 btrfs: do not allow compression on nodatacow files
Compression and nodatacow are mutually exclusive. A similar issue was
fixed by commit f37c563bab ("btrfs: add missing check for nocow and
compression inode flags"). Besides ioctl, there is another way to
enable/disable/reset compression directly via xattr. The following
steps will result in a invalid combination.

  $ touch bar
  $ chattr +C bar
  $ lsattr bar
  ---------------C-- bar
  $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v zstd bar
  $ lsattr bar
  --------c------C-- bar

To align with the logic in check_fsflags, nocompress will also be
unacceptable after this patch, to prevent mix any compression-related
options with nodatacow.

  $ touch bar
  $ chattr +C bar
  $ lsattr bar
  ---------------C-- bar
  $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v zstd bar
  setfattr: bar: Invalid argument
  $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v no bar
  setfattr: bar: Invalid argument

When both compression and nodatacow are enabled, then
btrfs_run_delalloc_range prefers nodatacow and no compression happens.

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 Restructured Text 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.
