[PATCH 2/4] copy_file_range: Perform splice if in/out SB are not same

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

 



From: Goldwyn Rodrigues <rgoldwyn@xxxxxxxx>

While performing copy_file_range(), if superblocks of file_in and
file_out don't match, instead of returning -EXDEV, perform
splice for a faster copy.
