    Introduce cifs_copy_file_range() · 620d8745
    Sachin Prabhu authored
    The earlier changes to copy range for cifs unintentionally disabled the more
    common form of server side copy.
    
    The patch introduces the file_operations helper cifs_copy_file_range()
    which is used by the syscall copy_file_range. The new file operations
    helper allows us to perform server side copies for SMB2.0 and 2.1
    servers as well as SMB 3.0+ servers which do not support the ioctl
    FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE.
    
    The new helper uses the ioctl FSCTL_SRV_COPYCHUNK_WRITE to perform
    server side copies. The helper is called by vfs_copy_file_range() only
    once an attempt to clone the file using the ioctl
    FSCTL_DUPLICATE_EXTENTS_TO_FILE has failed.
