Ah yes of course, although, would it be better to have a single patch
that looks like this[2], which would also need to add
prop_compress_level's initialization to 0 as per [1] (that would
probably be good anyway) or simply a:

 compress_type = inode->prop_compress;
+compress_level = 0; //level in xattr isn't supported yet

in the 2 relevant places?

Thanks.

Best,
koraynilay

P.S. I also noticed that defrag_compress_level too doesn't get
initialized to 0, so if we choose that approach a separate patch that
adds it would be in order IMO.
