Could you please check below commit? IIRC, it was introduce to avoid compressing
file which has unpredictable tmp file, e.g. foo.sox.

Could you please describe the case you encounter?

    f2fs: compress: fix to disallow temp extension

    This patch restricts to configure compress extension as format of:

     [filename + '.' + extension]

    rather than:

     [filename + '.' + extension + (optional: '.' + temp extension)]

    in order to avoid to enable compression incorrectly:

    1. compress_extension=so
    2. touch file.soa
    3. touch file.so.tmp

Thanks,
