[PATCH 10/11] vfs: allow generic_copy_file_range to copy across devices

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx>

do_splice_direct() can copy across superblocks without problems.
Remove the same superblock restriction on this fallback code.
