[PATCH v3 7/9] vfs: Remove copy_file_range mountpoint checks

From: Anna Schumaker <hidden>
Date: 2015-09-25 20:48:34
Also in: linux-btrfs, linux-fsdevel, linux-nfs
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

I still want to do an in-kernel copy even if the files are on different
mountpoints, and NFS has a "server to server" copy that expects two
files on different mountpoints.  Let's have individual filesystems
implement this check instead.
