After the recent series of cleanups in the properties and xattrs modules that landed in the 5.2 merge window, we ended up with a regression where after deleting the compression xattr property through the setflags ioctl, we don't set the BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING flag in the inode anymore. As a consequence, if the inode was fsync'ed when it had the compression property set, after deleting the compression property through the setflags ioctl and fsync'ing again the inode, the log will still contain the compression xattr, because the inode did not had that bit set, which made the fsync not delete all xattrs from the log and copy all xattrs from the subvolume tree to the log tree. This regression happens due to the fact that that series of cleanups made btrfs_set_prop() call the old function do_setxattr() (which is now named btrfs_setxattr()), and not the old version of btrfs_setxattr(), which is now called btrfs_setxattr_trans(). Fix this by setting the BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING bit in the current btrfs_setxattr() function and remove it from everywhere else, including its setup at btrfs_ioctl_setflags(). This is cleaner, avoids similar regressions in the future, and centralizes the setup of the bit. After all, the need to setup this bit should only be in the xattrs module, since it is an implementation of xattrs.

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.
