‘EXT2_ECOMPR_FL’ undeclared

[gagern]

The EXT2_ECOMPR_FL flag used here and here was moved to private API in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f7699f2b0114fcd0ea5ad5f8aa2142f1bcc27fd0. Its more public alias FS_ECOMPR_FL was removed in https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/68ce7bfcd995a8a393b1b14fa67dbc16fa3dc784, to be replaced by FS_ENCRYPT_FL using the same code. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/3edc18d84540b94c0eba9226d01a8cbe4c162b55 also comments on this reassignment in relation to EXT4_ENCRYPT_FL. Perhaps a look at the version can be used to distinguish these two possible meanings of the term? Or perhaps EXT2_ECOMPR_FL is actually unused, and therefore EXT4_ENCRYPT_FL is the only valid meaning?

Anyway, the code as it is doesn't compile against latest linux headers, leading to error messages like

error: ‘EXT2_ECOMPR_FL’ undeclared

as evidenced in Gentoo bug 583668.

Here is workaround from Void package:

I noticed that https://github.com/KubaKaszycki/xar/commit/69cd5f215accd96406368b9a7696fb1c3c66712f does include this workaround, too.
