Compression and nodatacow are mutually exclusive. A similar issue was fixed by commitf37c563bab("btrfs: add missing check for nocow and compression inode flags"). Besides ioctl, there is another way to enable/disable/reset compression directly via xattr. The following steps will result in a invalid combination. $ touch bar $ chattr +C bar $ lsattr bar ---------------C-- bar $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v zstd bar $ lsattr bar --------c------C-- bar To align with the logic in check_fsflags, nocompress will also be unacceptable after this patch, to prevent mix any compression-related options with nodatacow. $ touch bar $ chattr +C bar $ lsattr bar ---------------C-- bar $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v zstd bar setfattr: bar: Invalid argument $ setfattr -n btrfs.compression -v no bar setfattr: bar: Invalid argument When both compression and nodatacow are enabled, then btrfs_run_delalloc_range prefers nodatacow and no compression happens.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
