Hi Jaegeuk Kim, Chao Yu,

In Debian the following regression was reported after a Dhya updated
to 6.1.76:

The issue is easily reproducible by:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img count=100 bs=1M
# mkfs.f2fs -f -O compression,extra_attr ./test.img
# mount -t f2fs -o compress_algorithm=zstd:6,compress_chksum,atgc,gc_merge,lazytime ./test.img /mnt

resulting in

[   60.789982] F2FS-fs (loop0): invalid zstd compress level: 6
