Previously inline data extents creation was disabled if the block size
(previously called sector size) is smaller than the page size, for the
following reasons:
- Possible mixed inline and regular data extents
However this is also the same if the block size matches the page size,
thus we do not treat mixed inline and regular extents as an error.
And the chance to cause mixed inline and regular data extents are not
even increased, it has the same requirement (compressed inline data
extent covering the whole first block, followed by regular extents).
- Inability to handle async/inline delalloc range for block size < page
size cases
This is already fixed since commit 1d2fbb7f1f ("btrfs: allow
compression even if the range is not page aligned").
This was the major technical obstacle, but it's not anymore.
With that removed, we can enable inline data extents creation no matter
the block size nor the page size, allowing btrfs to have the same
capacity for all block sizes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
