[PATCH v20 05/12] fs/read_write: Enable copy_file_range for block device.
Posted by Nitesh Shetty 1 year, 8 months ago 
From: Anuj Gupta <anuj20.g@samsung.com>

This is a prep patch. Allow copy_file_range to work for block devices.
Relaxing generic_copy_file_checks allows us to reuse the existing infra,
instead of adding a new user interface for block copy offload.
Change generic_copy_file_checks to use ->f_mapping->host for both inode_in
and inode_out. Allow block device in generic_file_rw_checks.

Ok, so this changes from file->f_inode to file->mapping->host. No
doubt this is because of how bdev inode mappings are munged.
However, the first code that is run here is:

	ret = generic_file_rw_checks(file_in, file_out);

and that function still uses file_inode().

Hence there checks:

.... are being done on different inodes to the rest of
generic_copy_file_checks() when block devices are used.

Is this correct? If so, this needs a pair of comments (one for each
function) to explain why the specific inode used for these functions
is correct for block devices....

We were getting wrong size with file_inode() for block device, but we
missed to do it here in generic_file_rw_checks.
We will change the generic_file_rw_checks to use file->mapping->host
to make it consistent.

Thank You,
