[PATCH v1 8/8] vfs: Fall back on splice if no copy function defined

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

 



The NFS server will need a fallback for filesystems that don't have any
kind of copy acceleration yet, and it should be generally useful to have
an in-kernel copy to avoid lots of switches between kernel and
user space.  Users who only want a reflink can pass the COPY_REFLINK
flag to disable the fallback.
