Tried a quick experiment using cloner (David's tool in
xfstests/src/cloner.c) to copy a file from share1 to share2 on the
same target server (using CopyChunk and SMB3). Works fine for Windows
(tried Windows 8.1 as server) but failed for Samba 4.2.
This is one of the more important cases to support (copying a file
from one share to another).
Samba returned STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND on
FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK_WRITE unless source and target are on the same
share. I didn't try it with vfs_btrfs (the test system was running
ext4, and both exports are on the same volume on the server).
Was testing the change below where I relax the copy offload check in
cifs.ko as follows (to allow cross share copy chunk as Windows often
does)
