Re: [PATCH v13 1/9] block: Introduce queue limits for copy-offload support

Just a little heads up:  I think we need to properly solve the
hw vs user limit as the various ad-hoc mechanisms tend to be
broken and don't scale.  I plan to start looking into that the
next days.

Why do we need the separate copy_offload boolean vs just looking
at the max_bytes value?
