That is not going to happen.

Wow! We definitely need to put this check in nfs4_copy_file_range()
before it translates the system call to protocol command with
different semantics.
This change is needed regardless of Luis's patch, because nfs should
not rely on vfs to make that optimization and never pass 0 size copy to
filesystem method, so Olga, if Luis' patch does not go through, please
make that change in nfs.
Luis, please make a note about the zero size copy case in the commit
message (not only in change log) including a link to this conversation,
mentioning that the intention of the code is that a result of a CFR syscall
with zero size between two files should provide an indication of non-zero
CFR support between the same two files.
Thanks,
Amir.
