I used for fsstress+fault_injection+shutdown loop with compressed and
non-compressed directories with:

# mkfs.f2fs -f -O extra_attr -O project_quota -O compression -g android /dev/$DEV
# mount -t f2fs -o discard,fsync_mode=nobarrier,reserve_root=32768,checkpoint_merge,atgc,compress_cache /dev/$DEV $TESTDIR
# mkdir $TESTDIR/comp
# f2fs_io setflags compression $TESTDIR/comp
# fsstress [options] -d $TESTDIR/comp

I think you can simply mount with "-o compress_extension=*" to compress
everything.
