compress_file_range needs to clear the dirty bit before handing off work
to the compression worker threads to prevent processes coming in through
mmap and changing the file contents while the compression is accessing
the data (See commit 4adaa611020f ("Btrfs: fix race between mmap writes
and compression").
But when compress_file_range decides to not compress the data, it falls
back to submit_uncompressed_range which uses extent_write_locked_range
to write the uncompressed data. extent_write_locked_range currently
expects all pages to be marked dirty so that it can clear the dirty
bit itself, and thus compress_file_range has to redirty the page range.
Redirtying the page range is rather inefficient and also pointless,
so instead pass a pages_dirty parameter to extent_write_locked_range
and skip the redirty game entirely.
Note that compress_file_range was even redirtying the locked_page twice
given that extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io already redirties all pages
in the range, which must include locked_page if there is one.

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.
