Falling back from copy to clone should be done in the VFS. I look into
implementing the fallback, and the code is trivial, but we don't seem
to have any useful coverage for copy_file_range yet, so I didn't dare
to add it yet. How did you test copy and clone in f2fs? And how did
you handle the difference in corner cases (e.g. the lacking 0 special
case in copy)?

Frankly speaking, I confused the behaviors without being aware of corner cases.
And thus, I dropped the patches already. Instead, I realized that what I did
was moving a range of blocks from one file to another file. So, I've been
testing a new ioctl, F2FS_IOC_MOVE_RANGE.
In terms of coverage, I just did some unit tests only.
Thanks,
