Thanks.

I was reviewing this static checker warning.  I also have an unpublished warning
which complains about collect_sample().

fs/smb/client/compress.c:207 collect_sample() warn: should we be adding 'len' of the min_t value?

It's a bit weird to sample data from each page.  Could we add some comments at
the top of the function explaining what the function does.

/*
 * This reads a 2k sample from the start of each page to see the data is already
 * compressed or whether we can compress it further.
 */

added to cifs-2.6.git for-next (after correcting minor typo in Fixes:
tag spotted by checkpatch) and added RB

Will let Enzo address your other suggestions but they seemed reasonable.
