Hi Darrick, Following is a re-work of Dave Chinner's copy_file_range() patches. This v3 patch set is based on your feedback to v2 [1]. NOTE that this work changes user visible behavior of copy_file_range(2)! It introduces new errors for cases that were not checked before and it allows cross-device copy by default. After this work, cifs copy offload should be possible between two shares on the same server, but I did not check this functionality. Patches 1-3 have your Reviewed-by. Patches 4-5 have been slightly amended to address your comments. Patch 6 adds the new helper you requested dubbed file_modified(). Patch 7 uses the helper in xfs - unrelated to copy_file_range(). Patches 8-12 use the helper for various fs's ->copy_file_range(). Patch 13 (unmodified) has your Reviewed-by, because the bits that you approved are those that matter to most filesystems (i.e. the fallback logic). The man page update patch (again, mostly Dave's work) is appended to the series with fixes to your review comments. Thanks, Amir.
