The rtime compressor assumes that at least two bytes are compressed. If we try to compress just one byte, the loop condition will wrap around and an out-of-bounds write happens.

Are you sure about that? I saw odd kernel behavior and KASAN complained too.
Sorry for the later reply.
Yes. KASAN complains but it doesn't incur any harm because the minimal allocated size returned by kmalloc() will be 8-bytes.
But we better fix it, because it's bad to depend on the implementation of kmalloc().
It seems that mtd-utils has already fixed it years ago. Maybe we can use it directly ?
And your fix also looks good to me, so

mkfs.jffs2: fix integer underflow in jffs2_rtime_compress()
When '*dstlen' is 0 or 1, comparison will return wrong result. Reported by valgrind as
