Btrfs: Per file/directory controls for COW and compression
Data compression and data cow are controlled across the entire FS by mount
options right now. ioctls are needed to set this on a per file or per
directory basis. This has been proposed previously, but VFS developers
wanted us to use generic ioctls rather than btrfs-specific ones.
According to Chris's comment, there should be just one true compression
method(probably LZO) stored in the super. However, before this, we would
wait for that one method is stable enough to be adopted into the super.
So I list it as a long term goal, and just store it in ram today.
After applying this patch, we can use the generic "FS_IOC_SETFLAGS" ioctl to
control file and directory's datacow and compression attribute.
NOTE:
- The compression type is selected by such rules:
If we mount btrfs with compress options, ie, zlib/lzo, the type is it.
Otherwise, we'll use the default compress type (zlib today).
v1->v2:
- rebase to the latest btrfs.
v2->v3:
- fix a problem, i.e. when a file is set NOCOW via mount option, then this NOCOW
will be screwed by inheritance from parent directory.
