Hi, Since it's currently being discussed upstream the removal of the cross device check from copy_file_range (see [1] for details), it may be worth having the check in the patch below added into this patchset (But we can also wait for those VFS changes to be merged first, of course.) The patch below should do the trick, but in the future we could also think about something more elaborate. For example, it shouldn't be too difficult to add the possibility of doing remote copies between 2 different filesystems within the same cluster. (Well, at least doing *full* file copies, but maybe also partial copies.)
