For direct block device opened with O_DIRECT, use copy_file_range to issue device copy offload, and fallback to generic_copy_file_range incase device copy offload capability is absent....if the device does not support copy offload or the device files are not open with O_DIRECT. No ?
Yes your right. We will fallback to generic_copy_file_range in either of these cases.

Modify checks to allow bdevs to use copy_file_range.

We dont want failed copy offload IOs to fallback to block layer copy emulation. We wanted a API to return error, if offload fails.

we need this initialization, because __blkdev_copy_offload return number of bytes copied or error value. So we can not return 0, incase of success/partial completion. blkdev_copy_offload_failfast is expected to return number of bytes copied.

acked, will update this.

acked, will update function arguments to take single bdev.

Nack, explained above. Thank you, Nitesh Shetty
