Yes,

But no matter how late we check cp_error, cp_error can happen after our
check points, it won't cause regression if we remove cp_error check there,
because for compress write, it uses OPU, it won't overwrite any existed data
in device.

Seems it will be more appropriate to check cp_error in
f2fs_write_compressed_pages() like we did in f2fs_write_single_data_page()
rather than in __cluster_may_compress().

BTW, shouldn't we rename __cluster_may_compress() to
cluster_beyond_filesize() for better readability?

Thanks,
