For other files, we can still enable compression via ioctl.
Note that, there is one reserved special extension '*', it
can be set to enable compression for all files.
+nocompress_extension=%s Support adding specified extension, so that f2fs can disable
+ compression on those corresponding files, just contrary to compression extension.
+ If you know exactly which files cannot be compressed, you can use this.
+ The same extension name can't appear in both compress and nocompress
+ extension at the same time.
+ If the compress extension specifies all files, the types specified by the
+ nocompress extension will be treated as special cases and will not be compressed.
+ Don't allow use '*' to specifie all file in nocompress extension.
+ After add nocompress_extension, the priority should be:
+ dir_flag < comp_extention,nocompress_extension < comp_file_flag,no_comp_file_flag.
+ See more in compression sections.

compress_chksum Support verifying chksum of raw data in compressed cluster.
compress_mode=%s Control file compression mode. This supports "fs" and "user"
modes. In "fs" mode (default), f2fs does automatic compression
choosing the target file and the timing. The user can do manual
compression/decompression on the compression enabled files using
ioctls.
+compress_cache Support to use address space of a filesystem managed inode to
+ cache compressed block, in order to improve cache hit ratio of
+ random read.
inlinecrypt When possible, encrypt/decrypt the contents of encrypted
files using the blk-crypto framework rather than
filesystem-layer encryption. This allows the use of

-- To enable compression on regular inode, there are three ways:
+- To enable compression on regular inode, there are four ways:
* chattr +c file
* chattr +c dir; touch dir/file
* mount w/ -o compress_extension=ext; touch file.ext
* mount w/ -o compress_extension=*; touch any_file
+- To disable compression on regular inode, there are two ways:
+
+ * chattr -c file
+ * mount w/ -o nocompress_extension=ext; touch file.ext
+
+- Priority in between FS_COMPR_FL, FS_NOCOMP_FS, extensions:
+
+ * compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr +c dir; touch
+ dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so and baz.txt
+ should be compresse, bar.zip should be non-compressed. chattr +c dir/bar.zip
+ can enable compress on bar.zip.
+ * compress_extension=so; nocompress_extension=zip; chattr -c dir; touch
+ dir/foo.so; touch dir/bar.zip; touch dir/baz.txt; then foo.so should be
+ compresse, bar.zip and baz.txt should be non-compressed.
+ chattr+c dir/bar.zip; chattr+c dir/baz.txt; can enable compress on bar.zip
+ and baz.txt.

- At this point, compression feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the space.
Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk as much as
