From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx> In overlayfs, ovl_remap_file_range calls vfs_clone_file_range on the lower filesystem's inode, passing through whatever remap flags it got from its caller. Since vfs_copy_file_range first tries a filesystem's remap function with REMAP_FILE_CAN_SHORTEN, this can get passed through to the second vfs_copy_file_range call, which isn't an issue. Remove the WARN_ON because it's unnecessary. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
