Copy system calls came up during Plumbers a while ago, mostly because several
filesystems (including NFS and XFS) are currently working on copy acceleration
implementations. We haven't heard from Zach Brown in a while, so I volunteered
to push his patches upstream so individual filesystems don't need to keep
writing their own ioctls.
Changes in v9:
- Update syscall number for sys_mlock2()
- Fix calls to rw_verify_area()
Thanks,
Anna
