Hi Hyeong-Jun,

I think this makes sense.

But one more case may bypass below condition, could you please take a look
at this case:

touch file
chattr +c file
f2fs_io pinfile set file
fallocate file -o 0 -l 16384 -n
chattr -c file

So it's better to check F2FS_HAS_BLOCKS() as well in the condition?

Fixes: 4c8ff7095bef ("f2fs: support data compression")
