Before I totally give up on this feature, can you help me understand
your concerns with allowing the generic copy_file_range via
do_splice().

I have mentioned I'm not a VFS expert thus I come from just looking at
the available documentation and the code.

I don't see any restrictions on the files being passed in the
do_splice_direct(). There are no restrictions that they must be from
the same filesystem or file system type. But perhaps this not the
concern you had but more about checking validity of arguments?

I have looked at Dave Wong's, if I'm not mistaken these 2 are the
relevant patches:
[PATCH 02/28] vfs: check file ranges before cloning files
 -- a couple but not all checks apply to copy_file_range() .
specifically, the offsets don't wrap and offset isn't past eof (as my
patch suggests). Other checks have to do with aligned memory which I
don't believe is needed or other dedup requirement that don't apply.

[PATCH 04/28] vfs: strengthen checking of file range inputs to
generic_remap_checks
 -- these checks apply to the code once we fall back to the
do_splice(). it looks to me that perhaps exporting
generic_access_check_limits()/generic_write_check_limits so that they
can be used by the copy_file_range when it get pulled in.

Also, can you elaborate one what "security issues" are present in this
API? Is it "stripping setuid bits" and so something like calling
file_remove_priv() that should be done when the fallback to the
do_splice_direct() happens?

As for the atime, wouldn't the ->copy_file_range() be updating the
file attributes? I guess for the fallback case, the attributes need to
be updated.

If those are checks/issues needed to be addressed and would then get
the generic copy_file_range() in, I could give a go at a patch (or 2).
