David Sterba 5548c8c6f5 btrfs: props: change how empty value is interpreted 
Based on user feedback and actual problems with compression property,
there's no support to unset any compression options, or to force no
compression flag.

Note: This has changed recently in e2fsprogs 1.46.2, 'chattr +m'
(setting NOCOMPRESS).

In btrfs properties, the empty value should really mean reset to
defaults, for all properties in general. Right now there's only the
compression one, so this change should not cause too many problems.

Old behaviour:

  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------- file
  # the NOCOMPRESS bit is set
  $ btrfs prop set file compression ''
  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------m file

This is equivalent to 'btrfs prop set file compression no' in current
btrfs-progs as the 'no' or 'none' values are translated to an empty
string.

This is where the new behaviour is different: empty string drops the
compression flag (-c) and nocompress (-m):

  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------- file
  # No change
  $ btrfs prop set file compression ''
  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------- file
  $ btrfs prop set file compression lzo
  $ lsattr file
  --------c------------- file
  $ btrfs prop get file compression
  compression=lzo
  $ btrfs prop set file compression ''
  # Reset to the initial state
  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------- file
  # Set NOCOMPRESS bit
  $ btrfs prop set file compression no
  $ lsattr file
  ---------------------m file

This obviously brings problems with backward compatibility, so this
patch should not be backported without making sure the updated
btrfs-progs are also used and that scripts have been updated to use the
new semantics.

Summary:

- old kernel:
  no, none, "" - set NOCOMPRESS bit
- new kernel:
  no, none - set NOCOMPRESS bit
  "" - drop all compression flags, ie. COMPRESS and NOCOMPRESS

README 

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.
