Introduce blkdev_issue_copy which supports source and destination bdevs,
and an array of (source, destination and copy length) tuples.
Introduce REQ_COPY copy offload operation flag. Create a read-write
bio pair with a token as payload and submitted to the device in order.
Read request populates token with source specific information which
is then passed with write request.
This design is courtesy Mikulas Patocka's token based copy

Larger copy will be divided, based on max_copy_sectors,
max_copy_range_sector limits.

Hmm. I'm not sure if I like the copy loop.
What I definitely would do is to allocate the write bio before reading data; after all, if we can't allocate the write bio reading is pretty much pointless.

But the real issue I have with this is that it's doing synchronous reads, thereby limiting the performance.

Can't you submit the write bio from the end_io function of the read bio?
That would disentangle things, and we should be getting a better performance.

Cheers,

Hannes
