From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> commit 3510e684b8f6a569c2f8b86870da116e2ffeec2d upstream. After the migration to use fs context for processing mount options we had a slight change in the semantics for remounting a filesystem that was mounted with compress-force. Before we could clear compress-force by passing only "-o compress[=algo]" during a remount, but after that change that does not work anymore, force-compress is still present and one needs to pass "-o compress-force=no,compress[=algo]" to the mount command. Example, when running on a kernel 6.8+: $ mount -o compress-force=zlib:9 /dev/sdi /mnt/sdi $ mount | grep sdi /dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:9,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/) $ mount -o remount,compress=zlib:5 /mnt/sdi $ mount | grep sdi /dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:5,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/) On a 6.7 kernel (or older): $ mount -o compress-force=zlib:9 /dev/sdi /mnt/sdi $ mount | grep sdi /dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress-force=zlib:9,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/) $ mount -o remount,compress=zlib:5 /mnt/sdi $ mount | grep sdi /dev/sdi on /mnt/sdi type btrfs (rw,relatime,compress=zlib:5,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=5,subvol=/) So update btrfs_parse_param() to clear "compress-force" when "compress" is given, providing the same semantics as kernel 6.7 and older.
