Copy is a composite operation which has two operation read and
write combined, so we chose two operation types which reflects that.

This function appends a bio to a request. Hence, the name of this function is
wrong.
We followed the naming convention from discard(bio_attempt_discard_merge)
which does similar thing.
But we are open to renaming, if overall community also feels the same.

Is any code added in this patch series that causes an I/O scheduler to return
ELEVATOR_COPY_OFFLOAD_MERGE?
yes, blk_try_merge returns ELEVATOR_COPY_OFFLOAD_MERGE.

bios with different operation types must not be merged. Please rename this function.
As described above we need two different opcodes.
As far as function renaming, we followed discard's naming. But open to
any suggestion.
+static inline bool op_is_copy(blk_opf_t op)
+{
+ return ((op & REQ_OP_MASK) == REQ_OP_COPY_SRC ||

The above function is not used in this patch. Please introduce new functions in the
patch in which these are used for the first time.
Acked
Thank You
