Subject[PATCH v2] docs: filesystems: f2fs: fix description about compress ioctl
Date
From: Chao Liu <liuchao@coolpad.com>

Since commit c61404153eb6 ("f2fs: introduce FI_COMPRESS_RELEASED
instead of using IMMUTABLE bit"), we no longer use the IMMUTABLE
bit to prevent writing data for compression. Let's correct the
corresponding documentation.

BTW, this patch fixes some alignment issues in the compress
metadata layout.

Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as relaxing IO
congestion. Alternatively, we've added ioctl(F2FS_IOC_RELEASE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS)
