 "In this series, we've implemented transparent compression
  experimentally. It supports LZO and LZ4, but will add more later as we
  investigate in the field more.

  At this point, the feature doesn't expose compressed space to user
  directly in order to guarantee potential data updates later to the
  space. Instead, the main goal is to reduce data writes to flash disk
  as much as possible, resulting in extending disk life time as well as
  relaxing IO congestion.

  Alternatively, we're also considering to add ioctl() to reclaim
  compressed space and show it to user after putting the immutable bit.

  Enhancements:
   - add compression support
   - avoid unnecessary locks in quota ops
   - harden power-cut scenario for zoned block devices
   - use private bio_set to avoid IO congestion
   - replace GC mutex with rwsem to serialize callers
