No ?

Yes your right. We will fallback to generic_copy_file_range in either of
these cases.

Modify checks to allow bdevs to use copy_file_range.

What is the "failfast" in the name for ?

We dont want failed copy offload IOs to fallback to block layer copy emulation.
We wanted a API to return error, if offload fails.

You do not need this initialization.


we need this initialization, because __blkdev_copy_offload return number of
bytes copied or error value.
So we can not return 0, incase of success/partial completion.
blkdev_copy_offload_failfast is expected to return number of bytes copied.

Given that I think we do not allow copies between different devices, in_q and
out_q should always be the same, no ?

acked, will update this.


+		ret = __blkdev_copy_offload(bdev_in, pos_in, bdev_out, pos_out,
+				len, NULL, NULL, gfp_mask);

Same here. Why pass 2 bdevs if we only allow copies within the same device ?


acked, will update function arguments to take single bdev.

+
+	return ret;

return 0;


Nack, explained above.

Thank you,
