There is a long existing bug in btrfs defrag code that it will always
try to defrag compressed extents, even they are already at max capacity.
This will not reduce the number of extents, but only waste IO/CPU.
The kernel fix is titled:
btrfs: defrag: don't defrag extents which is already at its max capacity

Haven't really looked into this fstest. But it is a good practice to add the
commit id and the title here for others to easily refer kernel commit.
Isn't that already in the commit message?
Yes, that's true. And thanks for adding that.
I generally found mentioning commit-id and commit-title
in the description section of the test too to be lot more helpful.
This is in fact discussed before, I used to include the fixes in the
test description, but later move them into the commit message.
In the long run, the test should and would all pass, thus there is
really no need to bother mentioning it.
For the guys who really need to bother the test failure, aka QA testers
or some developers in the future causing some regression, they will
check the full commit messages anyway.
And the fixes tag has its own problems, like at the time of fstests
merging, the fixes may not yet being merged into mainline, or the title
may change.
Thus mentioning something volatile in the test description can be a
little confusing, and hiding it into the commit message may be preferred.
Thanks,
Qu
For e.g. tests/btrfs/232
# FS QA Test 232
#
# Test that performing io and exhausting qgroup limit won't deadlock. This
# exercises issues fixed by the following kernel commits:
#
# 4f6a49de64fd ("btrfs: unlock extents in btrfs_zero_range in case of quota
# reservation errors")
# 4d14c5cde5c2 ("btrfs: don't flush from btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata")
Though I don't think it is mandatory, but as I said, it is generally helpful
for anyone to refer to commit directly / title directly from here if it has
a commit-id (might be it's just me :))
Thanks!
