Since commit b4868b44c5628 ("NFSv4: Wait for stateid updates after CLOSE/OPEN_DOWNGRADE"), every inter server copy operation suffers 5 seconds delay regardless of the size of the copy. The delay is from nfs_set_open_stateid_locked when the check by nfs_stateid_is_sequential fails because the seqid in both nfs4_state and nfs4_stateid are 0. Fix by modifying the source server to return the stateid for COPY_NOTIFY request with seqid 1 instead of 0. This is also to conform with section 4.8 of RFC 7862. Here is the relevant paragraph from section 4.8 of RFC 7862: A copy offload stateid's seqid MUST NOT be zero. In the context of a copy offload operation, it is inappropriate to indicate "the most recent copy offload operation" using a stateid with a seqid of zero (see Section 8.2.2 of [RFC5661]). It is inappropriate because the stateid refers to internal state in the server and there may be several asynchronous COPY operations being performed in parallel on the same file by the server. Therefore, a copy offload stateid with a seqid of zero MUST be considered invalid.
