I don't think so?  I'm actually kind of confused, because nfsd does
vfs_clone_file_range, and the only place I messed with for CLONE was
ioctl_clone_file, so the patch changed literally nothing, unless you aren't
using nfsd for the server?

And if they are in fact two different file systems the i_sb != i_sb of the
files, so there's something pretty strange going on here, my patch shouldn't
affect your setup.  Thanks,

Josef
