Currently the logic whether to compress or not in compress_file_range is a bit convoluted because it tries to share code for creating inline extents for the compressible [1] path and the bail to uncompressed path. But the latter isn't needed at all, because cow_file_range as called by submit_uncompressed_range will already create inline extents as needed, so there is no need to have special handling for it if we can live with the fact that it will be called a bit later in the ->ordered_func of the workqueue instead of right now. [1] there is undocumented logic that creates an uncompressed inline extent outside of the shall not compress logic if total_in is too small. This logic isn't explained in comments or any commit log I could find, so I've preserved it. Documentation explaining it would be appreciated if anyone understands this code.

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.
