commit f2165627319ffd33a6217275e5690b1ab5c45763 upstream
The early check if we should attempt compression does not take into account the number of input pages. It can happen that there's only one page, eg. a tail page after some ranges of the BTRFS_MAX_UNCOMPRESSED have been processed, or an isolated page that won't be converted to an inline extent.
The single page would be compressed but a later check would drop it again because the result size must be at least one block shorter than the input. That can never work with just one page.
