The use of ?: here is a bit strange.  How about:

	return algorithm < COMPRESS_MAX && f2fs_cops[algorithm] != NULL;

Likewise, EINVAL tends to be over-used, which makes it ambiguous.  Maybe use
ENOPKG for the case where algorithm < COMPRESS_MAX but the algorithm wasn't
compiled into the kernel?  That would be similar to how opening an encrypted
file fails with ENOPKG when the encryption algorithm isn't available.

How about EBUSY for f2fs_is_mmap_file(inode) || get_dirty_pages(inode),
and EFBIG for inode->i_size != 0?
