From: Andy Adamson <andros@xxxxxxxxxx> Calling file_in->copy_file_range file operations function will not work for NFS inter-server to server COPY. In the intra-ssc case, when the destination server calls vfs_copy_file_range (from nfsd_copy_range) to perform the copy offload, it uses an NFS client file_in struct file setup to let the destination server (acting as an NFS client) NFS READ the data to be copied from the source server. Using the NFS file_in thus results in calling the NFS client copy_file_range f-ops, nfs4_copy_file_range, which results in the destination server trying to start a new COPY (calling COPY_NOTIFY etc) causing a circular call mess. Instead, vfs_copy_file_range should use the file_out f_ops->copy_file_range proceedure if it has one. The vfs_copy_file_range is a destination based operation as the source is simply being read, while the destination is being written and can therefore utilize a copy_file_range call if provided.
