This is an odd and very misnamed interface.

Either we have a klkdev_copy() interface that automatically falls back
to a fallback (maybe with an opt-out), or we have separate
blkdev_copy_offload/blkdev_copy_emulated interface and let the caller
decide.  But none of that really is "failfast".

Also this needs to go into the helpers patch and not a patch that is
supposed to just wire copying up for block device node.

Acked.

generic_copy_file_checks needs to be fixed to use ->mapping->host both
or inode_in and inode_out at the top of the file instead of this
band aid.  And that needs to be a separate patch with a Fixes tag.

Addressed below.

This is using weird indentation, and might also not be doing
exactly what we want.  I think the better thing to do here is to:

1) check for the accetable types only on the in inode
2) have a check that the mode matches for the in and out inodes

And please do this as a separate prep patch instead of hiding it here.

Agreed. We will send a separate patch, that enables copy_file_range on
block devices.

Thank you,
