Er... what?  This description is very confusing to me.  /me reads the
code, and ...

OH.

Given a range (pos, length) and a mapping for a source file, this
function copies all the bytes between pos and (pos + length) to daddr if
the range is aligned to @align_size.  But if pos and length are not both
aligned to align_src then it'll copy *around* the range, leaving the
area in the middle uncopied waiting for write_iter to fill it in with
whatever's in the iovec.

Yikes, this function is doing double duty and ought to be split into
two functions.

The first function does the COW work for a write fault to an mmap
region and does a straight copy.  Page faults are always aligned, so
this functionality is needed by dax_fault_actor.  Maybe this could be
named dax_fault_cow?

The second function does the prep COW work *around* a write so that we
always copy entire page/blocks.  This cow-around code is needed by
dax_iomap_actor.  This should perhaps be named dax_iomap_cow_around()?

I find it /very/ interesting that copy_mc_to_kernel takes an unsigned
int argument but returns an unsigned long (counting the bytes that
didn't get copied, oddly...but that's an existing API so I guess I'll
let it go.)

This is a bit subtle.  Could we add a comment:

	/*
	 * In DAX mode, we allow either pure overwrites of written extents,
	 * or writes to unwritten extents as part of a copy-on-write
	 * operation.
	 */
	if (WARN_ON_ONCE(...))

Do you have to check if srcmap is not a hole?
