So it's not necessary to repeat the same check in every operation on the file descriptor.
Oh, yes, it's safe now. I'm thinking we need to remove the check in f2fs_file_open(), because the check will fail metadata access/update (via f{g,s}etxattr/ioctl), however original intention of that check is only to avoid syscalls to touch compressed data w/o the engine, anyway this is another topic. The whole patchset looks fine to me, feel free to add: Reviewed-by: Chao Yu <yuchao0@xxxxxxxxxx> Thanks,
