Subject: Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: prevent compressed file from being
 disabled after releasing cblocks

So, do you think this patch is ok? And we need to consider that we
need more immutable checks for other cases?
Or you want to remove this immutable check from here and add the check
to each ioctl functions?
